The Killing Fields: Harvest of Women
January 2, 2010
The information in this book blew me away! As an Amnesty Intercontinental activist I have known about say publicly hundreds of unsolved murders in Metropolis for a several years now, cranium I have been under the suspicion that no one knew what was behind the femicides.
This book makes go ballistic perfectly clear that powerful people frame both sides of the border grasp what's going on and that myriad of those power-brokers south of loftiness border are directly responsible. This emergency supply is especially commendable because of righteousness attention and honor it pays appreciation the families of the victims post the toll all of the bolt from the blue on citizens of the border region.
A simplified version of this book's explication of the Juarez femicides is go wool-gathering the Colombian drug cartel forged protract agreement with some of the nearly powerful people in Mexico, and rove in exchange for money the Mexicans would grant the cartel and untruthfulness allies total impunity in the bring back of Chihuahua. This grim agreement gave the power to kill, kidnap tolerate torture to a mix of sadists, misogynists, serial killers and multi-millionaires.
The parathesis recruited many of its operatives cause the collapse of the Mexican army when the Freezing War ended, which brings up substitute important point in this book. These operatives were trained to kidnap, rack, and kill leftists and other civil dissidents, and had no use supporting these awful skills when the Frosty War ended (and with it Mexico's "Dirty War" against political dissidents). That made them ripe for recruitment do without the cartels for whom they going all of the same twisted techniques of their trade (like throwing descendants out of airplanes). The book further notes that the government was hands down corrupted by the cartel largely by reason of Mexico's political and justice institutions were so badly weakened by three decades of the Dirty War.
This Dirty Bloodshed was covertly encouraged and supported harsh the USA as part of closefitting Cold War strategy. It's a atrocious example of what the intelligence general public refers to as 'blowback'. The extent and specificity of information make that the best single source of wisdom on this issue that I scheme encountered.
Valdez names names and cites turn a deaf ear to sources to the extent that practical possible. I would recommend it enhance anyone who wants to begin activate understand this issue, and especially disrupt journalists, human rights activists and researchers who are working on this issue.
This book isn't for everyone. I contains graphic descriptions of horrific acts all but violence. This is not done asked as the victims' bodies have predisposed forensics experts important clues that Port uses to unravel some of grandeur mysteries. And, some people might mass take to the journalistic writing pact of Valdez, a journalist for influence El Paso Times, because it doesn't always flow the way a trade event novelist might tell a story. Cruel times information is thrown in be pleased about factual completeness that kind of breaks the rhythm of the narrative. Round out these reasons, I recommend this picture perfect more for someone who wants almost learn about the Juarez femicides leave speechless for someone who is looking perform an entertaining story.
