Descripción
Sumario:How did Mexico and Central America become a lawless corridor for conveying narcotics into the United States? How did the drug cartels rise to power, succeeding in institutionalizing the narco-industry? Why have the police and military failed to rein the cartels in? What have been the consequences of the US-led "war on drugs?" William Marcy's Narcostates provides answers to these questions and more. Tracing the evolution of narcotrafficking across the region, and drawing on newly declassified documents, Marcy unravels the tangled web of violence, corruption, and political instability that has empowered drug trafficking organizations since the 1970s.
