Inside the Hunt for El Chapo The World's Most Wanted Drug Lord

Mexico City-based Newsweek journalist Malcolm Beith presents his book, The Last Narco: Inside the Hunt for El Chapo, the Worlds' Most Wanted Drug Lord (Grove, $24.00). Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman is the world's most powerful, feared, and charismatic drug lord, at large since he escaped from prison in 2001 after bribing guards to wheel him out in a laundry cart. His cartel is accused of moving thousands of tons of cocaine, marijuana and heroin into the US each year using tunnels, planes and submarines. He has made an estimated $20 billion, and appeared on Forbes magazine's Global Power List in 2009. He allegedly bribes or kills politicians, police, soldiers and those who betray him, and is hailed by locals as a folk hero. But the net is closing. Who will make the final move? The Last Narco traces El Chapo's life and the struggle to bring him to justice, through reportage and interviews with rival narcos, police and DEA sources.
