In a ranch south of Texas, the man known as The Executioner dumps
five hundred body parts in metal barrels. In Brazil's biggest city,
a mysterious prisoner orders hit-men to gun down forty-one police
officers and prison guards in two days. In southern Mexico, a
crystal meth maker is venerated as a saint while imposing Old
Testament justice on his enemies. A new kind of criminal kingpin
has arisen: part CEO, part terrorist, and part rock star,
unleashing guerrilla attacks, strong-arming governments and taking
over much of the world's trade in narcotics, guns and humans. Who
are these new masters of death? What personal qualities and life
experiences have made them into such bloodthirsty leaders of men?
What do they represent and stand for? What has happened in the
Americas to allow them to grow and flourish? Author of the
critically acclaimed El Narco: Inside Mexico's Criminal Insurgency,
Ioan Grillo has covered Latin America since 2001, and gained access
to every level of the cartel chain-of-command in what he calls the
new battlefields of the Americas. Moving between militia-controlled
ghettos and the halls of top policy-makers, Grillo provides a new
and disturbing understanding of a war that has spiralled out of
control - one that people across the political spectrum need to
confront now. Gangster Warlords is the first definitive account of
the crime wars now wracking Central and South America and the
Caribbean.
