A Guide to the Mexican War on Drugs

By: Adele, Charlotte

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.

In December of 2006, Mexico's new President Felipe Calderon declared war on the drug cartels, reversing earlier government passiveness. Since then, the government has made some gains, but at a heavy price such as gun battles, assasinations, kidnappings, fights between rival cartels, and reprisals which have resulted to numerous deaths. Overshadowed by spiraling drug violence and fears of greater cross-border spillover, officials on both sides of the border (U.S.-Mexico) are committed to stopping the violence, and stemming the flow of drugs heading north and guns and cash heading south.
