El Chapo

This book provides a detailed investigation into the life of Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán Loera, from his early years to his rise as one of the world's most powerful drug traffickers.

Based on months of trial testimony and numerous interviews with cartel members, Mexican journalists, political figures, El Chapo's family, and DEA agents, the book delves into the dramatic and often horrifying moments of El Chapo's career.

It covers his infamous prison escapes, brutal murders, multi-million-dollar government payoffs, and the paranoia and narcissism that led to his downfall.

The book also explores the evolution of organized crime in Mexico, the militarization of the drug war, and the devastating impact of synthetic opioids like fentanyl on both sides of the border.
