"All of Mexico is El Chapo country. His rise parallels that of
Pablo Escobar."--Newsweek "Malcolm Beith's book is a virtual
nonstop chase."--David Steinberg, Albuquerque Journal "The Last
Narco is a brave and terrific headlong journalistic trek into the
dangerous, and immensely relevant, terrain of drug trafficking in
Mexico, and the life and times of its foremost practitioner." --Sam
Quinones, author of True Tales from Another Mexico "The Last Narco
gracefully captures the heroic struggle of those who dare to stand
up to the cartels, and the ways those cartels have tragically
corrupted every aspect of Mexican law enforcement." --Laura
Bickford, producer, Traffic "Malcolm Beith slaps our faces with our
ignorance. We barely know Mexico, and understand even less of its
major industry, drugs. In The Last Narco, he gives us a look into a
place our government either denies or lies about. This time you can
run, but you can't hide." --Charles Bowden, author of Murder City
"No 'war on terror' was ever as terrifying as the ferocious wars of
the drug lords in Mexico. In The Last Narco, Malcolm Beith
courageously takes us to the front lines in the heart of the
Mexican badlands--and also right on the border of the United
States. This is a threat to homeland security that is too often
ignored by the press and public, and this is the book that brings
it all into focus. A must read." --Christopher Dickey, author of
Securing the City: Inside America's Best Counterterror Force--the
NYPD "Malcolm Beith risked life and limb to tell the inside story
of Joaqu�n 'El Chapo' Guzm�n Loera, Mexico's notorious drug capo. A
novelist could not have presented a more intriguing or compelling
tale of corruption, intimidation, murder, blood feuds,
life-and-death negotiations, and the entrepreneurial skill of a
near-mythic figure whom Forbes Magazine named one of the world's
richest men. Beith's superb book corroborates the clich� that fact
is stranger than fiction." --George W. Grayson, professor of
government at the College of William & Mary and the author of
Mexico: Narco-Violence and a Failed State? "He is the last of the
Mohicans. All of the other big cartels have been decapitated. That
is why they want him so badly." --Jorge Chabat, Mexico City Law
Enforcement Expert "A virtual nonstop chase." --Trading Markets
