Description
«Osorno nos explica el pais. Dónde, cuándo, por qué, quiénes. Desliza datos sobre la relación del narco y el Ejército, el narco y la política, el narco y la violencia, el narco y la música. Un libro escrito con pasión.» - Élmer Mendoza «Uno de los mejores libros de narco en la historia.» —Esquire «El cártel de Sinaloa fue mi principal referenda para la serie Narcos. Es un libro que hay que leer.» —Diego Luna, actor. El juicio a Joaquín Guzmán Loera en Nueva York -a veces revelador como una Comisión de la Verdad, otras poco verosímil como un talk show latinoamericano- evidenció pocos aspectos desconocidos del mundo del narco. Pero una de las principales interrogantes sembradas giró en torno a si el famoso criminal apodado "El Chapo" es en realidad quien ha movido los hilos del narcotráfico todos estos años o el poder detrás del trono ha sido siempre su socio Ismael Zambada García, un capo de 72 años conocido como "El Mayo", quien lleva medio siglo dedicado al tráfico de drogas ilegales sin haber pisado nunca la cárcel. A diez años de su primera edición, El cártel de Sinaloa. Una historia del uso político del narco se ha vuelto ya un libro clásico en la literatura sobre el tema, que edemás de narrar con testimonios directos y documentos desclasificados la historia de la organización creada por Miguel Félix Gallardo, documenta mediante una amplia investigación lo que no se dijo en el juicio de Nueva York: la vida del auténtico "Jefe de jefes" de la organización más importante del tráfico de drogas a nivel internacional: El Mayo, un capo que nació el mismo año en que murió Al Capone y que en el siglo XXI se volvió, gracias a sus conexiones en los gobiernos de Salinas de Gortari, Zedillo, Fox, Calderón y Peña Nieto, el narcotraficante más antiguo y poderoso de México. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán’s trial in New York brought to light many already known aspects of the narco world. One of the main questions during the trial was whether the famous criminal is really the one who has been at the helm of drug trafficking all these years or has all the power laid at the hands of his partner Ismael Zambada García "El Mayo", a 72 year-old drug lord who has been involved in illegal drug trafficking for half a century without ever setting foot in a jail. Ten years after its first edition, this book has already become a classic in literature on the subject. In addition to narrating the history of this drug trafficking organization through first-hand testimonies and declassified documents, it also documents through great research what was not said in the New York trial about the life of the real "Boss of Bosses" of this organization “El Mayo”; a drug boss who in the 21st century became the oldest and most powerful drug trafficker in Mexico thanks to his connections within the Salinas de Gortari, Zedillo, Fox, Calderón and Peña Nieto presidencies. “Osorno describes the country; where, when, why, and who. He cleverly slips in information on the relationships between the narcos and the Army, the narcos and politics, the narcos and violence, the narcos and music. A book written with great passion.” — Élmer Mendoza “The Sinaloa Cartel was my main reference piece for the “Narcos” TV series. It is a must-read book.” —Diego Luna, actor.
