THE MEXICAN DRUG WAR The Giant Slaughter

Updated till 2025. This is the only book on the Mexican Drug War that is regularly updated to the present time. This drug war has been among the deadliest in the world, ranking number three in total accumulated deaths. In the 2000s, the Mexican government tried to protect large businesses from the cartels, but this only resulted in a sharp rise in violence in the country and a decade-long slaughter of innocent civilians. This up to date, lucid study covers everything you need to know about the war, stretching from the 1980s until the present day, and placing the conflict in the proper context of the ever-rising US illegal drug demand.
