Con una granada en la boca (Spanish Edition)

Relentless, profoundly human, and with flawless research, Javier Valdez Cárdenas is one of the most respected Mexican reporters of drug trafficking. In With a Grenade in Your Mouth, he gives us a sincere, painful inventory of the terrible testimonies he has amassed; supported by the opinions of experts such as Ricardo Ravelo, Paco Ignacio Taibo II, and Luis Astorga, he mixes hard facts with the feelings of hitmen and victims alike. His reports describe the pain of a woman with a grenade in her mouth, of a brother lost to drugs, and of the humiliation of victims in the Mexican drug wars.
