El Sicario: The Autobiography of a Mexican Assassin

I gave this as a film suggestion and so now i'll suggest the book as well,.
For all that goes on in the Middle East, i've often ventured the opinion that it is child's play compared to what is going on south of the border. I have been closely tracking the happenings in Mexico since i lived in the Southwest and the fight for the Juarez plaza was raising insanity and death tolls to new heights.
The subject of the book was one of the guys who made it all happen before the narco world was torn apart into the chaos which it is in today. 20 years worth of sometimes surreal violence and corruption. It's a quick and super grim read. Hollywood couldn't possibly make a movie out of this.

I watched it Sunday night. I now understand what people mean when they say something was "chilling".

Just got done watching the movie guys
Extremely intense and well done.
Red pill oozing from it.
I don't want to spoil it but from the previous it has a female lead but don't let that fool you.

I don't think this book is related to the film Sicario.
You want to know the only thing you can assume about a broken down old man? It's that he's a survivor.

Saw the movie last Friday. The shit that the cartels do would give ISIS pause.

I don't how true this is and living in europe I don't have to question how far or near this is from reality but
"The Counselor" and
"End of Watch" made me think twice about taking trips to mexico.
Tell them too much, they wouldn't understand; tell them what they know, they would yawn.
They have to move up by responding to challenges, not too easy not too hard, until they paused at what they always think is the end of the road for all time instead of a momentary break in an endless upward spiral

In the border regions, there are gangs killing each other for turf and profit.
In the Middle-East there are people killing each other in the name of religious strife, profit and opportunism. In addition to this, it has become a proxy war with freedom fighters like Hizballah, governments of Iran, USA and Russia all involved.
Oh and yeah, the Mujahideen would crush the cartels in a second.
