Combining on the ground reporting and in-depth discussions with people on the frontlines of Mexico's drug war, To Die in Mexico tells behind the scenes stories that address the causes and consequences of Mexico's multibillion-dollar drug-trafficking business. John Gibler looks beyond the cops-and-robbers myths that pervade government and media portrayals of the unprecedented wave of violence and looks to the people of Mexico for solutions to the crisis now pushing Mexico to the breaking point. "Gibler is something of a revelation, having been living and writing from Mexico for a range of progressive publications only since 2006, but providing reflections, insights, and a level of understanding worthy of a veteran correspondent." -Latin American Review of Books Similar books: Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grann The Cases That Haunt Us by John Douglas Devil's Knot by Mara Leveritt Low Life by Luc Sante Highway of Tears by Jessica McDiarmid Midnight in Peking by Paul French Breaking Blue by Timothy Egan American Fire by Monica Hesse Norco '80 by Peter Houlahan Fire in a Canebrake by Laura Wexler Casino by Nicholas Pileggi Big Trouble by J.
