El cártel de Sinaloa: una historia del uso político del narco
Description:
A chronicle of the rise, development, and transformations of Mexico’s most dangerous drug cartel. The Sinaloa Cartel explains and details the world of drug trafficking: from the pioneers of the business such as Pedro Avilés, the ruthless sicarios who kill governors like “El Gitano,” corrupt police officers in the style of Guillermo González Calderoni, to surprising events such as the mass expulsion of Chinese immigrants during the second decade of the twentieth century, the first transnational cocaine routes, and the escape of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán. Here, everyone tells their version of the lucrative drug trade in Sinaloa, which is the very history of drug trafficking in Mexico. This book gives voice to the son of a drug trafficker who recounts what it is like to live with that stigma; it also features a mafia lawyer who opens doors in courtrooms and maximum-security prisons; Oaxacan soldiers who eradicate marijuana crops in the mountains of Badiraguato; a guerrilla commander from the ERPI in Guerrero; and a wealthy politician and businessman from San Pedro Garza García, Nuevo León. All of them are key players in the world of narcotrafficking, and here they offer revealing testimonies. The PGR, the DEA, and the Mexican Army also speak through official files, some published for the first time in this book. The direct version of kingpins such as Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, the “Boss of Bosses,” is also made known—his handwritten accounts accuse the authorities of being the true architects behind the creation and organization of the so-called cartels. Through agile journalistic narration, Diego Enrique Osorno offers the most complete overview of the foundational cartel of Mexican drug trafficking and one of the most powerful to ever exist in Mexico.
