George W. Grayson, Clyde N.Wilson
-Embroiled in multiple turf wars around the country as well as a
battle with the nation's armed forces, Mexico's dozen-odd drug
cartels all seek to strike fear into the hearts of their enemies,
but none have cultivated a name for being cruel, ruthless and
cold-blooded warriors quite so assiduously as the Zetas.... [This
book] provide[s] us with the first hardnosed dissection of one of
the most spine-chilling criminal organizations that has ever
existed.... [E]ssential reading.- --Jo Tuckman, International
Affairs -[T]his is the first authoritative book ever written solely
about Los Zetas... The authors cover how Los Zetas are organized,
financed, armed, and trained, and these sections contain
information that is a researcher's dream... Bottom line, if you do
any work or research related to Mexico's drug war, this needs to be
in your book collection.- --Sylvia Longmire, http:
//borderviolenceanalysis.typepad.com -George Grayson and Samuel
Logan provide the most detailed analysis to date of the Zetas,
Mexico's most brutal criminal group. The Executioner's Men captures
the sophisticated nature of the Zetas' organizational structures
and operations as well as the depraved flavor of the Zetas' lives.-
--Vanda Felbab-Brown, fellow at the Brookings Institution; author,
Shooting Up: Counterinsurgency and the War on Drugs -[A]n
astonishing tale with detail that Mickey Spillane would have
envied. Vividly written, meticulously documented with footnotes
that can serve as tools for other academics and journalists, this
is a crime story that must be read and understood on both sides of
the bloody border.- --Jerry Kammer, Pulitzer Prize-winning
journalist -Carefully researched and vividly written, The
Executioner's Men provides the most detailed analysis currently
available of the 'Zetas, ' Mexico's most violent and aggressive
criminal organization. The book will be essential to scholars,
policy-makers, and the public in their efforts to grasp the
dimensions of the challenges posed by a new breed of organized
crime to Mexico and the United States.- --John Bailey, professor of
government and foreign service, Georgetown University
