Summary:
"This is the true
story
of how
El
Chapo
built the world’s wealthiest and
most
powerful drug-trafficking operation, based on months’ worth of trial testimony and dozens of interviews with cartel gunmen, Mexican journalists and political figures, Chapo’s family members, and the DEA agents who brought him down. Over the course of three decades,
El
Chapo
was responsible for smuggling hundreds of tons of cocaine, marijuana, heroin, meth, and fentanyl around the
world
, becoming in the process the
most
celebrated and reviled
drug
lord
since Pablo Escobar.
El
Chapo
waged ruthless wars against his rivals and former allies, plunging vast areas of Mexico into unprecedented levels of violence, even as many in his home state of Sinaloa continued to view him as a hero. This unputdownable book, written by a great new talent, brings
El
Chapo’s exploits into a focus that previous profiles have failed to capture. Hurowitz digs in deep beyond the legends and delves into
El
Chapo’s life and legacy -- not just the hunt for him, revealing some of the
most
dramatic and often horrifying moments of his notorious career, including the
infamous
prison escapes, brutal murders, multi-million-dollar government payoffs, and the paranoia and narcissism that led to his downfall. From the evolution of organized crime in Mexico to the militarization of the
drug
war to the devastation wrought on both sides of the border by the introduction of synthetic opioids like fentanyl, this book is a gripping and comprehensive work of investigative, on-the-ground reporting."--Publisher.
