The History of Drugs: a Century of Grudge Between the United States and Mexico

This book starts with the mass murder of 43 students that shocked the world in September 2014, and reveals a corner of the Mexican drug empire formed over a century, especially the truth about the United States and Mexico's joint efforts to combat drug crimes in Mexico since 2006. Mexico has ideal conditions for growing drugs and is adjacent to the United States, the world's largest drug consumer. Drug traffickers sell drugs and buy back weapons. They not only violently confront each other, but also bribe judicial officers, police and even the military, resulting in political corruption and the decline of people's livelihood. Coupled with local historical issues and the signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement, Mexico has been deeply involved in the drug economy. The author wants to reveal why the drug war is becoming more and more harmful and what is wrong with drug policy.
