by J. Jesús Esquivel (Author)

J. Jesús Esquivel, autor de La D.E.A. en México, ha conseguido develar los entresijos del narcotráfico en Estados Unidos al sumergirse en la lectura de incontables expedientes judiciales, además de entrevistar a informantes clave.

De San Francisco a Nueva York y de la línea divisoria hasta Chicago, Los narcos gringos describe con minucioso detalle los ingeniosos trucos de que se valen los brokers, los artífices del tráfico de estupefacientes, para llevar sus mercancías al interior de la Unión Americana y lavar el producto de su labor ilícita que hacen llegar a los cárteles mexicanos, el verdadero poder de la ecuación.

A lo largo de la frontera entre México y Estados Unidos, una de las más extensas y complejas del mundo, tiene lugar uno de los comercios más perniciosos, aunque con implicaciones desiguales para una y otra nación: mientras de un lado se queda la sangre y la violencia, en el otro imperan la logística, los prejuicios raciales y la insaciable avidez de los consumidores; todo envuelto por un manto de corrupción.

Relatos y retratos insólitos -algunos dignos de llegar a las pantallas cinematográficas, como el del inolvidable Don Henry Ford Jr.- desfilan por estas páginas para cuestionar mitos como la despenalización y el perdón presidencial a delincuentes, presentando en cambio un panorama demoledor sobre la adicción y el alcance de los intereses que buscan satisfacerla.
Los narcos gringos no usan camisas de seda italiana o botas de pieles de animales exóticos, tampoco gruesas cadenas de oro y mucho menos relojes caros con incrustaciones de diamantes. El prototipo del narco gringo es una persona común y corriente que viste un pantalón de mezclilla, camisa o camiseta, que no usa anillos ni conduce autos caros.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The journalistic investigation that was missing to complete the drug trafficking map. J. Jesús Esquivel, author of The D.E.A. in Mexico, has managed to unveil the ins and outs of drug trafficking in the United States by immersing himself in reading innumerable judicial records, as well as interviewing key informants.

From San Francisco to New York and from the border to Chicago, The Gringo Drug Lords describes in painstaking detail the ingenious tricks used by the brokers, the architects of the movement of narcotics, to get their merchandise inside the United States and launder the product of their illicit labor, giving the true power of the equation to the Mexican cartels.

Along the border between Mexico and the United States, one of the longest and most complex borders in the world, one of the most detrimental businesses takes place, although it carries uneven implications for both nations: while one side holds the blood and violence, on the other side, logistics, racial prejudice, and the insatiable greed of the consumers; and all wrapped in a cloak of corruption.
