ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The result of a long series of interviews with Sandra vila, the Queen of the Pacific, this book contains the first testimony of what it means to be born, grow up, and live inside the drug cartels. This infamous woman tells Julio Scherer her story, revealing herself directly, with all her contradictions, fears, and outbursts. Her voice, both with the journalist and with public opinion, resounds powerfully, although at times she is defensive, terse, and discouraged. Thanks to the formidable narrative gift of the man considered the best journalist in Mexico, Sandra vila shows us the inner depths of this world governed by death, but she also reveals her private side. And in the fight to show that she was her own master, as Scherer writes, I have been drunk on life and suffered hangovers from which I've recovered. Now I bump into my cell walls between depression and motivation, half dead and half alive, fallen and newly arisen... A unique book in many senses, The Queen of the Pacific: It's Time to Tell is being published in the most significant moment in the war on the drug trade. It provides readers important pieces that will allow them to decipher the puzzle of this unprecedented and seemingly never-ending violence.| SKU | Unavailable |
