### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Drug Lords wow.
  

*by J***Z on Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2010*

I found this tome chilling even though somewhat dated and behind the current drug trafficking status. My greatest lament however is that we as a nation haven't progressed in our so called war on drugs. The corruption in Latin American countries is more rampant than it ever was when this book was written. The evidence is the Mexican and American condition of crooked policemen and crooked government officials and the major cartel wars going on there. I'm at the verge of saying let's legalize narcotic traffic and sales to at least quiesce the dangers inherent in those wars. As a Mexican descendant I'm afraid to go even to the border towns for shopping and eating different fare than found in our own country.

    WAY To Much Info
  

*by H***A on Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2014*

I read several cartel books before buying this one and I'll tell you right now, if I hadn't I would've been so lost!  While this book is very insightful, it is just overrun with info and names (there are 8-pages of "The Cast of Characters" - EIGHT). Also, the author notes in  in the opening pages that "Spanish-speaking peoples ofent use two surnames: their father's surname followed by their mother's maiden name. For example: Gilberto Rodriguez Orejuela," or "Jose Santacruz Londono." The Author chose to "use both surnames on introduction... but usually just the fathers surname after that." VERY CONFUSING  because in the other books I've read they were always listed as Gilberto Orejula and Jose Londono, not Gilberto Rodriguez and Jose Santacruz.There were also a few instances where I read something that was not fully explained, just thrown out there with assumed knowledge of the reader - I guess. For instances, the "left-handed window." There is absolutely no mention of what that means and I only know what it means by reading another book, however it would've been if the author would tell the reader what it is. I mean, he (the author) threw it and threw out a fact but did not tie the two together and explain what that term mean. Again, another example of to many facts, too much info = TOO CONFUSING A BOOK!
