Overview
La guerra de Los Zetas arroja luz sobre los secretos del lugar donde se libra la batalla más importante del México del inicio del siglo XXI.
Con Prólogo Juan Villoro.
En el año 2000, cuando el PRI dejó al fin la presidencia de México, en el noreste del país nacieron Los Zetas, una banda que entonces parecía una anécdota fugaz del mundo del narco. Doce años después, el PRI regresa al poder y Los Zetas parecen eternos mientras libran una guerra contra el cártel de Sinaloa, la organización criminal más fortalecida durante los gobiernos panistas.
En esta aproximación inédita a una región fronteriza que a diferencia de Tijuana y Ciudad Juárez ha sido poco documentada, Diego Enrique Osorno recorre los sitios que han padecido los mayores estragos de violencia causados por la guerra declarada por Felipe Calderón. En un itinerario que abarca pueblos y ciudades de Nuevo León y Tamaulipas, el autor habla con pobladores, generales, jóvenes sicarios, alcaldes, periodistas, policías, empresarios, migrantes, familiares de desaparecidos y vendedores de armas. Consigue información reveladora, entre la que destacan las confesiones de Óscar López Olivares, el Profe, quien, junto a Juan Nepomuceno Guerra y Juan García Ábrego, fundó el cártel del Golfo.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Upon researching the particularities of what could be called the “zeta enigma,” Diego Enrique Osorno warns us of the risks for Mexico in the years to come, in the face of the possible runaway growth of this criminal organization.
War of the Zetas sheds light on the secrets of the place where 21st-century-Mexico’s most important battle is being fought.
With a prologue by Juan Villoro.
When the PRI finally left the Mexican presidency in the year 20000, in the northeast of the country, the Zetas were born: a gang that at that time seemed like a brief anecdote from the world of narcos. Twelve years later, the PRI returned to power and the Zetas seem everlasting as they fight a war with the Sinaloa cartel, the criminal organization that was strengthened the most during the PAN (National Action Party) governments.
In this unprecedented closeup into a border region which, unlike Tijuana and Ciudad Juárez, has not been widely publicized, Diego Enrique Osorno takes us through the places that have suffered the most from the war declared by Felipe Calderón. On an itinerary that covers towns and cities from Nuevo León and Tamaulipas, the author talks with locals, generals, young assassins, mayors, journalists, policemen, businesspeople, migrants, relatives of missing people, and arms dealers. He gathers revealing information, including the confessions of Óscar López Olivares, “The Professor,” who founded the Gulf Cartel along with Juan Nepomuceno Guerra and Juan García Ábrego.
