"Gibler is something of a revelation, having been living and writing
from Mexico for a range of progressive publications only since 2006, but
providing reflections, insights, and a level of understanding worthy of
a veteran correspondent." (Latin American Review of Books)
Combining on-the-ground reporting and in-depth discussions with people
on the frontlines of Mexico's drug war, To Die in Mexico tells
behind-the-scenes stories that address the causes and consequences of
Mexico's multibillion dollar drug trafficking business. John Gibler
looks beyond the myths that pervade government and media portrayals of
the unprecedented wave of violence now pushing Mexico to the breaking
point.
