Review
“An investigative magnum opus.” —Los Angeles Times “A riveting story ... an incredibly brave journalist.”—NPR Morning Edition “This is a book that you read twenty-five pages at a time and then take a break from, shaking your head in disbelief that everything it contains could really have occurred. That it did only makes Hernández’s undertaking all the more necessary.” —Barnes & Noble Review“Rigorous, disturbing narrative of how drug cartels infiltrated Mexican society’s highest levels ... Essential reading for a serious understanding of how the war on drugs is destroying the social fabric of South American nations.” —Kirkus Reviews “The most remarkable feature of Anabel Hernández’s brave and invaluable account of Mexico’s blood-drenched drug wars is that she survived long enough to write it.” —Sunday Times “Braving the wrath of drug traffickers and government officials alike … Hernández has exposed the corruption at the heart of the drug war that has killed over 80,000 of her compatriots since 2006.” —Nation “Anabel Hernández accuses the Mexican state of complicity with the cartels, and says the ‘war on drugs’ is a sham. She’s had headless animals left at her door and her family have been threatened by gunmen ... Narcoland became, and remains, a bestseller: more than 100,000 copies sold in Mexico. The success is impossible to overstate, a staggering figure for a nonfiction book in a country with indices of income and literacy incomparable to the American–European book-buying market.” —Ed Vulliamy, Observer“Anabel Hernández exposes the most murderous drug organization in Mexico, the Mexican government. Of course, this level of corruption is only possible thanks to the moral and financial support of the leaders in Washington. Here’s the story the media never has the time to tell you.” —Charles Bowden author of Murder City: Ciudad Juárez and the Global Economy’s New Killing Fields “Jaw-dropping reading.” —Independent “While many Mexican politicians and officials merely pretend to fight the drugs producers, Anabel Hernández has taken a genuine stand in favour of the rule of law and decency in her society. [Narcoland] is in itself an important statement. She deserves our respect and admiration for making it.” —Spectator“A searing indictment of a war on drugs Hernández believes was a sham from the start.” —Financial Times

I, like others I'm sure, was waiting for this book for a bit. I had pre-ordered it weeks before it came out and it represents about the tenth book I've read on the subject. I've lived in Mexico for one year, speak passing Spanish, and before my time in Mexico itself I lived in San Diego directly on the US/Mexico border.If you're looking for an accessible and easy read on growth, impact, and interactions of narco cartels in Mexico, don't get this book. One of my personal favorites is The Fire Next Door: Mexico's Drug Violence and the Danger to America. In that, you'll get a very engaging and straight forward book that lays out, with graphic description, the corruption, violence, and destabilization caused by narcotics cartels in Mexico.In Narcoland: The Mexican Drug Lords And Their Godfathers, however, you're going to be exposed to a long stream of dates, names, and places. The writing is laden with facts and as others have pointed out, it is a difficult read.As an example, most books on narco cartels talk about "El Chapo" Guzman being smuggled out of jail in a laundry cart. It was the popular story and it certainly is Hollywood-esque so it just continues to get repeated through most books. You'll find that very few books on narco cartels involve actual in-country first person research. Anabel Hernandez however is a glaring exception and lays out the math with interviews, witnesses, and transcripts to show how Guzman was dressed up as police officer and simply walked out the front door.Further, the discussion of the Oliver North's involvement in the "Contra supply chain" is the most detailed discussion of Mexican cartel involvement I have read to date during the Iran Contra Affair.So figure out what your level of involvement is in narco cartels. Some people watch television news, others read Foreign Affairs: it depends on how deep you want to understand a subject. The deeper you go, the harder (but the more valuable) the material.
It certainly goes without saying that S. Anabel Hernandez must be applauded with highest accolades for her courage and commitment in shedding light on how the so tragic and deeply devastating 'fake' War on Drugs has been upon all the innocents of society. As Americano del Norte feels a wasting away from the ever increasing drug menace, Mexico is on the front lines of the battle being the middle men in the equation via the Americano del Sante source and producers of Coca. As colusion between Governmente and Narco trafficos go, one realizes that U.S. Govt is clearly complicit as well in aiding and abbeting this criminal activity but the story is told from the Mexican perspective. A most terryfying and sobering account. I pray for the end of it all to come soon and be resolved peacefully, but it seems that only miracle intervention would answer! I purchased this book knowing from our own U.S. 'fake' Wars on D's ' et al... without having had a need for all the details But I sincerely hope that most of the money we spent purchasing this book will in fact return to help support the author. She is one brave Senorita! This is as lucid and as close to the battle that I hope you'd ever be. When you read it, you too will sense that it is true. S. Heranadez is a dedicated, thorough and professional journalist, par excellance. How she has managed under the circumstances is incredible. She writes well and gives many details that only a professional would be able to glean or find. My heart breaks for the entire population of our collective lands as the events told here continue to unfold. May the Eternal one bless and protect you Anabel, I'm just sorry you have had to write about such a horrific thing, but it is one that affects everone of of in the Western world directly. Highly recommended, not for the feignt of heart!
I am in awe of the courage it took for Anabel Hernandez to write this book. She put her life on the line, and I only hope she has taken every measure to protect herself from harm. She is naming names, dates, and getting the real story of what is happening in Mexico and the U.S. to protect these cartels. The only problem is that it is impossible for anyone not familiar with all of the similar names to keep up with all the players and their families. I found myself skimming through to get the essence of what is happening, paying more attention to the stories and the familiar names and places to get the essence of what has taken place and how all of this grew so enormous and protected, and most importantly to me, what is being done about it (nothing).I had heard about this book, and, since my husband and I are retiring to San Miguel in the state of Guanajuato next year, and for the 20 years we have been visiting, found it to be safer than Houston, thought I would read this book to see for myself what all the fears are about. It is truly alarming to see that the corruption goes all the way up to the every Mexican President since Vicente Fox to today. Not just ignoring what is going on in their country, but actively profitting from it (an estimated $40 million to Fox) and protecting the cartels. Now, my question is, since the evidence, the story, and the names are out in the open, will anything be done? Will the Mexican people that are not involved in this corruption finally do something about it, and will our own government actually use this knowledge to conduct an EFFECTIVE war on drugs?
