Description: Gangster Warlords: Drug Dollars, Killing Fields, and the New Politics of Latin America SOME HIGHLIGHTING FROM PREVIOUS OWNER On a ranch south of Texas, the man known as The Executioner dumps five hundred body parts in metal barrels. In Brazil's biggest city, a mysterious prisoner orders hit-men to gun down forty-one police officers and prison guards in two days. In southern Mexico, a crystal meth-maker is venerated as a saint while imposing Old Testament justice on his enemies. A new kind of criminal kingpin has arisen: a hybrid of CEO, paramilitary general and rock star. Who are these new masters of death? What personal qualities and life experiences have made them into such bloodthirsty leaders of men? Who do they represent and what do they stand for? What has happened in the Americas to allow them to grow and flourish?
