J. Jes s Esquivel, autor de La D.E.A. en M xico, ha conseguido develar los entresijos del narcotr fico en Estados Unidos al sumergirse en la lectura de incontables expedientes judiciales, adem s de entrevistar a informantes clave.

De San Francisco a Nueva York y de la l nea divisoria hasta Chicago, Los narcos gringos describe con minucioso detalle los ingeniosos trucos de que se valen los brokers, los art fices del tr fico de estupefacientes, para llevar sus mercanc as al interior de la Uni n Americana y lavar el producto de su labor il cita que hacen llegar a los c rteles mexicanos, el verdadero poder de la ecuaci n.

A lo largo de la frontera entre M xico y Estados Unidos, una de las m s extensas y complejas del mundo, tiene lugar uno de los comercios m s perniciosos, aunque con implicaciones desiguales para una y otra naci n: mientras de un lado se queda la sangre y la violencia, en el otro imperan la log stica, los prejuicios raciales y la insaciable avidez de los consumidores; todo envuelto por un manto de corrupci n.

Relatos y retratos ins litos -algunos dignos de llegar a las pantallas cinematogr ficas, como el del inolvidable Don Henry Ford Jr.- desfilan por estas p ginas para cuestionar mitos como la despenalizaci n y el perd n presidencial a delincuentes, presentando en cambio un panorama demoledor sobre la adicci n y el alcance de los intereses que buscan satisfacerla.
Los narcos gringos no usan camisas de seda italiana o botas de pieles de animales ex ticos, tampoco gruesas cadenas de oro y mucho menos relojes caros con incrustaciones de diamantes. El prototipo del narco gringo es una persona com n y corriente que viste un pantal n de mezclilla, camisa o camiseta, que no usa anillos ni conduce autos caros.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The journalistic investigation that was missing to complete the drug trafficking map. J. Jes s Esquivel, author of The D.E.A. in Mexico, has managed to unveil the ins and outs of drug trafficking in the United States by immersing himself in reading innumerable judicial records, as well as interviewing key informants.

From San Francisco to New York and from the border to Chicago, The Gringo Drug Lords describes in painstaking detail the ingenious tricks used by the brokers, the architects of the movement of narcotics, to get their merchandise inside the United States and launder the product of their illicit labor, giving the true power of the equation to the Mexican cartels.

Along the border between Mexico and the United States, one of the longest and most complex borders in the world, one of the most detrimental businesses takes place, although it carries uneven implications for both nations: while one side holds the blood and violence, on the other side, logistics, racial prejudice, and the insatiable greed of the consumers; and all wrapped in a cloak of corruption.

- An unprecedented in-depth study of drug trafficking in the United States, with great national and international distribution potential.

- With his two previous books The DEA in Mexico and The CIA, Camarena, and Caro Quintero the author has proven to be one of the most important investigators about the international connections of organized crime.
