Description
El Narco: The Bloody Rise of Mexican Drug Cartels
War is no exaggeration in discussing the bloodshed that has terrorized Mexico in the past decades. The body count - 23,000 dead in five years - and sheer horror beggar the imagination of journalistic witnesses. Cartel gunmen have shot up schools and rehabilitation centers, and murdered the entire families of those who defy them.
Ioan Grillo, a veteran Mexico correspondent, traces the gangs from their origins as smugglers to their present status as criminal empires. He provides a piercing portrait of a drug trade that turns ordinary men into mass murderers, as well as a diagnosis of what drives the cartels and what gives them such power. This is required reading for anyone concerned about one of the most important news stories of the decade.
