![El Chapo: The Untold Story of the World's Most Infamous Drug Lord by Noah Hurowitz (Hardcover)]()
A stunning investigation of the life and legend of Mexican kingpin Joaqu n Archivaldo "El Chapo" Guzm n Loera, building on Noah Hurowitz's revelatory coverage for Rolling Stone of El Chapo's federal drug-trafficking trial. This is the true story of how El Chapo built the world's wealthiest and most powerful drug-trafficking operation, based on months' worth of trial testimony and dozens of interviews with cartel gunmen, Mexican journalists and political figures, Chapo's family members, and the DEA agents who brought him down. Over the course of three decades, El Chapo was responsible for smuggling hundreds of tons of cocaine, marijuana, heroin, meth, and fentanyl around the world, becoming in the process the most celebrated and reviled drug lord since Pablo Escobar. El Chapo waged ruthless wars against his rivals and former allies, plunging vast areas of Mexico into unprecedented levels of violence, even as many in his home state of Sinaloa continued to view him as a hero. This unputdownable book, written by a great new talent, brings El Chapo's exploits into a focus that previous profiles have failed to capture. Hurowitz digs in deep beyond the legends and delves into El Chapo's life and legacy--not just the hunt for him, revealing some of the most dramatic and often horrifying moments of his notorious career, including the infamous prison escapes, brutal murders, multi-million-dollar government payoffs, and the paranoia and narcissism that led to his downfall. From the evolution of organized crime in Mexico to the militarization of the drug war to the devastation wrought on both sides of the border by the introduction of synthetic opioids like fentanyl, this book is a gripping and comprehensive work of investigative, on-the-ground reporting.Binding Type: HardcoverAuthor: Noah HurowitzPublisher: Atria BooksPublished: 07/20/2021ISBN: 9781982133757Pages: 448Weight: 1.40lbsSize: 9.10h x 6.30w x 1.50dReview Citations: Library Journal Prepub Alert 07/01/2020 pg. 41Publishers Weekly 05/10/2021Kirkus Reviews 06/01/2021Library Journal 07/09/2021 pg. 1
