Review: Es un gran libro. Como muchos otros autores que se especializan en la materia del narco-trafico, Jose Reveles presenta evidencias de como es que el Gobierno Federal Mexicano tiene un pacto vigente con el cartel de Sinaloa donde el Chapo y su gente puede actuar con impunidad a cambio de información que le permita al Gobierno la captura de otros capos que le hacen competencia. Aunque el titulo hace referencia el cartel de los Beltran, el libro va mas alla y relata historias de casi todos los grupos criminales que que operan en nuestro país.

Review: I was a bit dissapointed with this book. It didn't really shine any new light on the capo's life. All the author does is translate the well documented information already found on numerous internet forums and blogs. It's cool that he visited the town in "Badiraguato", but none of the people he interviewed have anything to do with Chapo or have anything interesting to say. I wanted this book to be good, but it wasn't. I instead recommend works by Jose Reveles, Ricardo Ravelo and Jesus Blancornelas, among other authors that really risk it all to bring us their reporting.
