Grillo, Ioan

This is a vitally important book because, as the author writes, "how we as a society deal with this challenge could determine whether these gangster warlords are a blip in history or get even deeper into our communities and lives."

A graphic excursion into El Narco and the economic and political realities of Mexico, where a poor country boy's only chance of financial success may be to join a cartel. Fast paced, thorough, and shocking, this will engage readers interested in true crime, mob stories, current events, and the reality behind TV shows that dramatize the fast, short lives of those who run against the law.
