Gangster Warlords

Explore the world of hybrid criminal kingpins who control the majority of the world's trade in narcotics, guns, and humans. Gangster Warlords takes you to Central and South America and the Caribbean where the crime wars are booming, but often forgotten. Ioan Grillo, author of El Narco, recounts his journey through the new battlefields of the Americas, where he moves between militia-controlled ghettos and the halls of top policymakers. This book provides a disturbing yet unmissable understanding of a war spiraling out of control and in need of immediate action.
