"This short, intense book exposes life inside the largest gang in the world, Mara Salvatrucha 13, more commonly known as MS-13. Right in the heart of El Salvador's capital, anthropologist Juan José Martínez d'Aubuisson observes firsthand an escalating cycle of brutality between MS-13 and its sworn enemies from Barrio 18 as it becomes a war fought on a professional scale with grenades and machine guns."--From publisher.

Uhlmann, Natascha.
