review 1: Ok, por partes:1. Anabel Hernández no es escritora, es periodista.2. A pesar de las dos estrellas, el libro no es malo, tiene información interesante, lo que lo daña es:3. Está editado demanera ho-rri-ble. Esto hace que la obra sea confusa3.1 muchas veces se pierde la línea de los resultados de la investigación y las suposiciones de la autora. 3.2 hace complicada su lectura convirtiendo esta en una propia mini investigación, regresando a capítulos, buscando nombres (cae mucho en usar los nombres reales y después apodos, nombres falsos y demás a gusto sin mantener estructura) ni que decir de las fechas. 4. Requiere una re edición a modo redux, con algunas actualizaciones y más neutro (algunos comentarios de ella son izquierdosos en exceso) para una lectura más ... moreamena.
review 2: Last night I finished Hernandez’s intriguing book discussing the evolution of Mexico’s cartels and the corruption throughout the Mexican government, as well as other areas of society. Hernandez provides testimony from a variety of sources and a mountain of evidence that the Mexican officials were involved in protecting the Sinaloa cartel.This corruption was extensive and had been ongoing throughout various Presidential administrations. Even the current President - Nieto - is named as having some involvement with the cartels in his career. Nor does the corruption stop with the state, but spreads to the business world as well, where the cartel’s illicit gains are laundered - providing capital for Mexico’s elite.Hernandez also provides evidence that the U.S. was complicit in the growth of the Mexican cartels (particularly during Iran Contra) and has had knowledge of the corruption inside the Mexican state.It’s an informative read, though it doesn’t necessarily follow a chronological narrative (which can be frustrating at times). However, don’t let that deter you from reading and educating yourself on an important subject, which is not only impacting our neighbor and the U.S. but the world. less
