Overview
Nazar Haro podría ser la personificación de la oscuridad: dirigió la institución considerada más perversa en la historia de México —la Dirección Federal de Seguridad— durante el tiempo en que ésta destrozó a activistas y desapareció a cientos de guerrilleros, opositores y estudiantes; además, creó la Brigada Blanca y para los que él consideraba “enemigos del sistema” fue el rostro más represivo y corrupto del Estado…
Este libro reconstruye su historia. Es el resultado de un gran número de entrevistas realizadas entre febrero de 1993 y diciembre de 2011 al extitular de la extinta DFS. El Tigre retrata su niñez, su adolescencia, su vida como agente, su anticomunismo, su pasado poderoso y útil para los hombres que dirigieron este país, así como su caída y abandono por parte de aquellos con quienes colaboró, como Luis Echeverría Álvarez.
En estas páginas —que sólo ahora se pueden dar a conocer—está la historia que llevó a su detención en febrero de 2004, su retorno a la libertad y su muerte por tristeza.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Miguel Nazar Haro was fixated with tigers. He identified with one he had in his office. He used it to torture his detainees.
Nazar Haro could be the personification of darkness. He led what is considered the most perverse institution in Mexican history—the Federal Security Agency—during a time in which it destroyed activists and disappeared hundreds of rebels, dissidents, and students. He also created the White Brigade, and to those he considered “enemies of the system,” Nazar became the most repressive and corrupt face of the government…
This book puts together his story. It is the result of a great number of interviews with the former head of the now extinct agency, conducted between February 1993 and December 2011. The Tiger portrays his childhood, his adolescence, his life as an agent, his anti-communism beliefs, his powerful past, useful to the men who ran the country, as well as his downfall, and being abandoned by those he collaborated with, people like Luis Echeverría Álvarez.
These pages—that only now can be made known—tell the story that led to his arrest in February 2004, his return to freedom, and his dying of grief.
