Los millonarios de la guerra
El expediente inédito de García Luna y sus socios
Preface by Carmen Aristegui, Mexico City: Grijalbo, 2021.
In December 2006, Mexican President Felipe Calderón declared a «war on drug trafficking,» marking the beginning of an era filled with violence that has resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths and enriched a select few with millions of dollars.
In this investigation—conducted over eight years across four countries and involving more than 17,000 documents—journalist Peniley Ramírez exposes the individuals profiting from this industry: politicians, suppliers, brokers, spies, security companies, advisors, police commanders, military leaders, and arms dealers.
Genaro García Luna is one such individual, and he is one of the few who has fallen from grace. This book illustrates that his life and work exemplify an ongoing system in which one can earn millions without needing to win the «war.»
19 edificios como 19 heridas
Por qué el sismo nos pegó tan fuerte
Edited by Alejandro Sánchez, Mexico City: Grijalbo, 2018.
One year after the disaster, this work investigates what went wrong in 19 of the buildings most damaged by the earthquake. Why were there so many deaths 32 years after the 1985 earthquake? The book, thus, paints what are the problems that cracked Mexico… and warns: if they are not solved, a similar tragedy will happen again.
