Overview

Desde que el Ejército asumió el papel de la policía, una persona muere cada día a manos de militares en México. ¿Qué hay detrás de esas muertes?

En estas páginas se encuentran respuestas que revelan un rostro terrible, fracturado, sangriento y al mismo tiempo conmovedor.

Un soldado mata y una parte del Estado se rompe. Algo que no debería ocurrir de repente sucede. Camuflados como policías, los militares mexicanos patrullan al borde del precipicio. Entrenados para la guerra, la batalla contra los enemigos plantea una ecuación irresoluble.

En poco más de una década, el ombudsman mexicano ha recibido más de 11 000 quejas por presuntas violaciones a derechos humanos cometidas por militares. Denuncias por asesinato, tortura, desaparición forzada. ¿Por qué mata un soldado? ¿Por qué alguien que jura proteger a las personas usa la fuerza del Estado para atacarlas?

Los autores de este libro frontal, riguroso en su investigación, no por ello menos humano y con pasajes conmovedores, quisieron entender el motivo, saber en qué circunstancias se dan estos horrores.

Para develar las verdades expuestas en estas páginas eligieron a los soldados. ¿Quiénes son? ¿Cuáles son sus historias? ¿Cómo han sido entrenados? ¿En qué momento y por qué asesinan, torturan, desaparecen? Hace tres años Pablo Ferri y Daniela Rea iniciaron un viaje para buscar respuesta a estas preguntas, travesía que los llevó a la cárcel militar de Ciudad de México, a un consejo de guerra en Veracruz, a patrullar con soldados junto al río Bravo... estas páginas intentan ofrecer las respuestas a estos cuestionamientos inquietantes.

Con la colaboración de Mónica González Islas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Since the Army took on the role of the police, one person has died every day at the hands of soldiers in Mexico. What lies behind those deaths?

Within these pages are answers that reveal a terrible, fractured, bloodstained, and at the same time deeply moving reality.

A soldier kills
, and a part of the State breaks. Something that should never happen suddenly does. Disguised as police officers, Mexican soldiers patrol on the edge of the abyss. Trained for war, the battle against enemies poses an irresolvable equation.

In just over a decade, the Mexican ombudsman’s office has received more than 11,000 complaints of alleged human rights violations committed by soldiers—complaints of murder, torture, and enforced disappearance. Why does a soldier kill? Why does someone who swears to protect people use the power of the State to attack them?

The authors of this uncompromising book—rigorous in its investigation, yet no less human and filled with deeply moving passages—set out to understand the reasons, to uncover the circumstances in which these horrors occur.

To reveal the truths exposed in these pages, they chose to focus on the soldiers themselves. Who are they? What are their stories? How have they been trained? At what moment, and why, do they kill, torture, and make people disappear? Three years ago, Pablo Ferri and Daniela Rea began a journey in search of answers to these questions—a journey that took them to Mexico City’s military prison, to a court-martial in Veracruz, to patrolling alongside soldiers along the Rio Grande…

These pages attempt to offer answers to these disturbing questions.
