Amexica: War Along the Borderline

Amexica is the harrowing story of the extraordinary terror unfolding along the U.S.-Mexico border€”€œa country in its own right, which belongs to both the United States and Mexico, yet neither€€”as the narco-war escalates to a fever pitch there.In 2009, after reporting from the border for many years, Ed Vulliamy traveled the frontier from the Pacific coast to the Gulf of Mexico, from Tijuana to Matamoros, a journey through a kaleidoscopic landscape of corruption and all-out civil war, but also of beauty and joy and resilience. He describes in revelatory detail how the narco gangs work; the smuggling of people, weapons, and drugs back and forth across the border; middle-class flight from Mexico and an American celebrity culture that is feeding the violence; the interrelated economies of drugs and the maquiladora factories; the ruthless, systematic murder of young women in Ciudad Juarez. Heroes, villains, and victims€”the brave and rogue police
