In this controversial book, Watt and Zepeda contend that the failing 'war on drugs' in Mexico, launched by president Felipe Calerón and funded by US military aid, is in fact a pretext for a US-backed strategy to bolster unpopular neoliberal policies, a weak yet authoritarian government, and a radically unfair status quo.
