THE MEXICAN DRUG WAR The Giant Slaughter

Description

This is the only book on the Mexican Drug War that is regularly updated to the present, thus keeping abreast of the latest news. This drug war has been among the deadliest in the world, ranking number three in total accumulated deaths. The Mexican government tried to protect large businesses from the cartels using the military back in 2006, but this move only resulted in a sharp rise in violence in the country, and in a decade-long slaughter of innocent civilians. This lucid study covers everything you need to know about the war, stretching from the 1980s until the present day, placing the conflict in the proper context of ever-rising US illegal drug demand.
