The world has watched, stunned, the bloodshed in Mexico. Forty
thousand murdered since 2006; police chiefs shot within hours of
taking office; mass graves comparable to those of civil wars; car
bombs shattering storefronts; headless corpses heaped in town
squares. And it is all because a few Americans are getting high. Or
is it part of a worldwide shadow economy that threatens Mexico's
democracy? The United States throws Black Hawk helicopters, DEA
assistance, and lots of money at the problem. But in secret,
Washington is at a loss. Who are these mysterious figures who
threaten Mexico's democracy? What is El Narco?
El Narco is not a gang; it is a movement and an industry drawing in
hundreds of thousands, from bullet-riddled barrios to
marijuana-covered mountains. The conflict spawned by El Narco has
given rise to paramilitary death squads battling from Guatemala to
the Texas border (and sometimes beyond). In this "propulsive ...
high-octane" book ("Publishers Weekly"), Ioan Grillo draws the
first definitive portrait of Mexico's cartels and how they have
radically transformed in the past decade.
