In the Shadow of Saint Death: The Gulf Cartel and the Price of America's Drug War in Mexico

A noted journalist gives U.S. readers the story of the war being waged along our border in the voices of the cartel hitmen, law enforcement officials, politicians, shopkeepers, migrants and children living inside of it year-round. The book poses provocative questions about the direction and consequence of U.S. drug policy and the militarized approach to combating the narcotics trade on both sides of the border. As rival drug gangs turn Northern Mexico into a battleground with body counts surpassing U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, noted journalist and author Michael Deibert turns an unflinching gaze on the war being waged at America's border and, increasingly, spilling across it.
