A new and updated edition of Malcolm Beith's thrilling inside-account
of Joaquin El Chapo Guzman's notorious Sinaloa drug cartel.
Until 2016, the dense hills of Sinaloa, Mexico, were home to the most
powerful drug lord since Pablo Escobar: Joaquin El Chapo Guzman. Guzman
was among the word's ten most wanted men and appeared on Forbes
magazine's billionaire list. With his massive wealth, his army of
professional killers, and a network of informants that reached into the
highest levels of government, catching Guzman was considered
impossible - until it wasn't.
Newsweek correspondent Malcolm Beith has spent years reporting on the
drug wars and followed the chase with full access to senior officials
and exclusive interviews with soldiers and drug traffickers in the
region, including members of Guzman's cartel. Newly updated with Beith's
gripping account of the trial that put Guzman away for life, The Last
Narco is essential reading about one of the most dramatic news stories
of our day - a true-crime thriller happening in real-time.
