Midnight in Mexico: A Reporter's Journey Through a Country's Descent Into Darkness

Alfredo Corchado. (Get this book)
Mexico-born U.S. journalist Corchado frames a portrait of a torn nation within an account of escaping his own murder. Corchado is short on prescription but long on description, especially of the disastrous policies of the George W. Bush administration, some of which helped flood Mexico with automatic weapons. People are willing to do anything about Latin America other than read about it, or so it's been said. This is one book about Latin America that merits attention.--Kirkus
