Reviews
"An ambitious and daring sketch of the political nexus that ensures the Mexican system of narcotics delivery to the U.S." -- LA Times "A definitive work on Cartel history." -- Pop Matters " Narcoland , with its explosive descriptions of decades of corruption permeating the upper echelons of government, leaves an extremely bad taste in the reader's mouth about the state of Mexico's perennially corrupt institutions - and begs the question: how much has changed? For Narcoland , Anabel Hernandez spent five years combing police, court and US papers, securing access to informers and sources and pursuing often fruitless requests for official files. The result is a searing indictment of a war on drugs." --Financial Times "Anabel Hernandez exposes the most murderous drug organization in Mexico, the Mexican government. Of course, this level of corruption is only possible thanks to the moral and financial support of the leaders in Washington." --Charles Bowden, author of Murder City: Ciudad Juárez and the Global Economy's New Killing Fields "What I appreciate in Anabel is not only her courage, it is her overall view that is so rare to find. In a country like Mexico, which has a deeply compromised democracy, the strength of reporters who assess these important issues is ultimately their attempt to save their democracy. While nailing politicians to their responsibilities, Anabel transforms her pages into an instrument for readers, an instrument of democracy." --from the Foreword by Roberto Saviano, author of Gomorrah "Hernández's investigation into corruption ... traces the collusion of government, law enforcement, and military figures with the narcos back at least to the 1970s ... Her book has sold over 170,000 copies in Mexico and she now lives protected by bodyguards." Enrique Krauze, author of Mexico: Biography of Powe r, in The New York Review of Books "Indispensable reading for anyone who wants to understand the origins of the violence ... An extraordinary book for making the necessary journey to our heart of darkness."-- Letras Libres (Mexico) "In this brave work, the author argues that from the presidency of Gustavo Díaz Ordaz (1964-1970), all of Mexico's rulers have maintained close relations with groups that import, export, and sell illegal drugs."-- La Jornada From the Hardcover edition., "An investigative magnum opus." -- Los Angeles Times "A riveting story ... an incredibly brave journalist." --NPR Morning Edition " This is a book that you read twenty-five pages at a time and then take a break from, shaking your head in disbelief that everything it contains could really have occurred. That it did only makes Hernández's undertaking all the more necessary." -- Barnes & Noble Review " Rigorous, disturbing narrative of how drug cartels infiltrated Mexican society's highest levels ... Essential reading for a serious understanding of how the war on drugs is destroying the social fabric of South American nations." -- Kirkus Reviews " The most remarkable feature of Anabel Hernández's brave and invaluable account of Mexico's blood-drenched drug wars is that she survived long enough to write it." -- Sunday Times "Braving the wrath of drug traffickers and government officials alike ... Hernández has exposed the corruption at the heart of the drug war that has killed over 80,000 of her compatriots since 2006." -- Nation " Anabel Hernández accuses the Mexican state of complicity with the cartels, and says the 'war on drugs' is a sham. She's had headless animals left at her door and her family have been threatened by gunmen ... Narcoland became, and remains, a bestseller: more than 100,000 copies sold in Mexico. The success is impossible to overstate, a staggering figure for a nonfiction book in a country with indices of income and literacy incomparable to the American-European book-buying market." --Ed Vulliamy, Observer " Anabel Hernández exposes the most murderous drug organization in Mexico, the Mexican government. Of course, this level of corruption is only possible thanks to the moral and financial support of the leaders in Washington. Here's the story the media never has the time to tell you." -- Charles Bowden author of Murder City: Ciudad Juárez and the Global Economy's New Killing Fields " Jaw-dropping reading." -- Independent " While many Mexican politicians and officials merely pretend to fight the drugs producers, Anabel Hernández has taken a genuine stand in favour of the rule of law and decency in her society. [ Narcoland ] is in itself an important statement. She deserves our respect and admiration for making it." -- Spectator " A searing indictment of a war on drugs Hernández believes was a sham from the start." -- Financial Times From the Hardcover edition., "An investigative magnum opus." -- Los Angeles Times "A riveting story ... an incredibly brave journalist." --NPR Morning Edition " This is a book that you read twenty-five pages at a time and then take a break from, shaking your head in disbelief that everything it contains could really have occurred. That it did only makes Hernández's undertaking all the more necessary." -- Barnes & Noble Review " Rigorous, disturbing narrative of how drug cartels infiltrated Mexican society's highest levels ...

Synopsis
The product of five years' investigative reporting, the subject of intense national controversy, and the source of death threats that forced the National Human Rights Commission to assign two full-time bodyguards to its author, Anabel Hern ndez, Narcoland has been a publishing and political sensation in Mexico. The definitive history of the drug cartels, Narcoland takes readers to the front lines of the "war on drugs," which has so far cost more than 60,000 lives in just six years. Hern ndez explains in riveting detail how Mexico became a base for the mega-cartels of Latin America and one of the most violent places on the planet. At every turn, Hern ndez names names - not just the narcos, but also the politicians, functionaries, judges and entrepreneurs who have collaborated with them. In doing so, she reveals the mind-boggling depth of corruption in Mexico's government and business elite. Hern ndez became a journalist after her father was kidnapped and killed and the police refused to investigate without a bribe. She gained national prominence in 2001 with her exposure of excess and misconduct at the presidential palace, and previous books have focused on criminality at the summit of power, under presidents Vicente Fox and Felipe Calder n. In awarding Hern ndez the 2012 Golden Pen of Freedom, the World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers noted, "Mexico has become one of the most dangerous countries in the world for journalists, with violence and impunity remaining major challenges in terms of press freedom. In making this award, we recognize the strong stance Ms. Hern ndez has taken, at great personal risk, against drug cartels." This updated edition includes a new chapter detailing the arrest of "El Chapo" Guzman, the notorious leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, whose incredible escape from his previous incarceration was exposed as an inside job by this book., 'A searing indictment of a war on drugs she believes was a sham from the start.' Financial Times..The definitive history of the drug cartels, Narcoland takes readers to the front lines of the 'war on drugs,' which has so far cost more than 60,000 lives in just six years.
