Book Description
Blog del Narco is a heavily visited website, both in Mexico and the rest of North America, and it reveals the horrible savagery of the drug cartels. More than this, it also speaks of corruption and violence from the government itself.
Many journalists in Mexico have been killed and silenced. Blog del Narco is not run by professional journalists, but it’s the only forum for the true story of the violent drug war.
Dying for the Truth is the first and only book release that contains both text and images, many of them gruesome, from this vital public forum.
This book contains both the original Spanish-language posts in addition to their English translations. Truth is risky, and sometimes it’s also harsh. Here is the reality of the Mexican Drug War, created in part by American demand for the products controlled by the cartels and their government collaborators.
The Blog del Narco authors live anonymously and under threat in Mexico and aspire to relocate to the United States.
Editorial Reviews
Review
‘Blog del Narco is renowned for its fearless coverage at a time when mainstream media are feeling pressure and are frightened away by the nation’s deadly cartels.’
– The Daily Mail‘Blog del Narco and Dying for the Truth are not intended to be sensationalist, gratuitous exposes of gangland terror. Instead, they re designed to be a wake-up-call; a desperate plea for help; a window into a nightmare that’s worsening by the day, and is affecting the lives of millions of people.’ —
– Bizarre Magazine“Blog del Narco, an internet sensation dubbed a “front-row seat” to Mexico’s agony over drugs, has become a must-read for authorities, drug gangs and ordinary people because it lays bare, day after day, the horrific violence censored by the mainstream media.” –The Guardian
