DESCRIPTION:A new kind of criminal has arisen: part CEO, part terrorist, and part rock 
 star, unleashing guerrilla attacks, strong-arming governments, and taking 
 over much of the world’s trade in narcotics, guns, and human beings. What 
 they do affects you now—from the gas in your car... to the tens of 
 thousands of Latin Americans wanting refugee status in the U.S.  From the 
 author of the critically acclaimed El Narco,  Ioan Grillo brings us the 
 shocking story of these ruthless men who command the cartels through Latin 
 America.  This is the first definitive account of the crime wars now 
 wracking Central and South America and the Caribbean, regions largely 
 abandoned by the U.S. after the Cold War.\n\n“Terrific...Essential 
 reading.” —Steve Coll, The New Yorker\n\nGrillo has covered Latin 
 America since 2001 and gained access to every level of the cartel chain of 
 command in what he calls the new battlefields of the Americas. Moving 
 between militia-controlled ghettos and the halls of top policy-makers, 
 Grillo provides a disturbing new understanding of a war that has now spun 
 out of control— one that people across the political spectrum must 
 confront right now.\n\n
