Used Book in Good Condition
If anyone cares to read an on-the-ground account of the effects the cartels have on Mexico, its governments, citizens, and in particular the non-tourist visitors, you can't do much better than Oscar Martinez's The Beast: Riding the Rails and Dodging Narcos on the Migrant Trail. It's extremely chilling, and Martinez's bravery and boldness to tell the story of the countless people who are either killed or silenced (or both) is very compelling. He's a phenomenal writer, and the translation in the English version is flawless.
Highly, highly recommended. Vice also did a piece on this subject.
