About This Item
New York, NY: Nation Books, 2010 Nation Books, New York. 2010. Hardcover. First Printing by line Number. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Very Good +: bumped tail with small tear at rear gutter. DJ: Very Good; NOT price clipped; bumping to tail with small closed tear at gutter. Black boards with black overlay on spine with bright gilt lettering. 320 pp 8vo. This is a chronicle of a city in collapse. It is caught in the crosshairs of Mexico's warring cartels, and it brutally exposes the lies that we tell ourselves about globalization, NAFTA, immigration, corruption, and the war on drugs. CJ descends into anarchy as the police and military fight for drug profits, and the government and the cartels co-exist with no one in charge. A clean very presentable copy in a Brodart mylar jacket.
