ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Upon researching the particularities of what could be called the "zeta enigma," Diego Enrique Osorno warns us of the risks for Mexico in the years to come, in the face of the possible runaway growth of this criminal organization.
War of the Zetas sheds light on the secrets of the place where 21st-century-Mexico's most important battle is being fought.
With a prologue by Juan Villoro.
When the PRI finally left the Mexican presidency in the year 20000, in the northeast of the country, the Zetas were born: a gang that at that time seemed like a brief anecdote from the world of narcos. Twelve years later, the PRI returned to power and the Zetas seem everlasting as they fight a war with the Sinaloa cartel, the criminal organization that was strengthened the most during the PAN (National Action Party) governments.
In this unprecedented closeup into a border region which, unlike Tijuana and Ciudad Ju rez, has not been widely publicized, Diego Enrique Osorno takes us through the places that have suffered the most from the war declared by Felipe Calder n. On an itinerary that covers towns and cities from Nuevo Le n and Tamaulipas, the author talks with locals, generals, young assassins, mayors, journalists, policemen, businesspeople, migrants, relatives of missing people, and arms dealers. He gathers revealing information, including the confessions of scar L pez Olivares, "The Professor," who founded the Gulf Cartel along with Juan Nepomuceno Guerra and Juan Garc a brego.
