The story of the cartel that brutally took over Mexico and whose drugs kill thousands of Americans.

This authoritative guide is the first book to tell the complete history of the Jalisco Cartel New Generation (CJNG). Beginning as a family of ambitious avocado farmers in southern Mexico, the CJNG has transformed into a squad of masked avengers executing their enemies, ruthless synthetic drug experts, and now a continent-spanning drug cartel, flooding the United States with fentanyl, methamphetamine and cocaine.

Divided into convenient thematic chapters, this book reveals:

- The CJNG's presence and criminal activities in every state in Mexico

- The cult of personality surrounding Mencho, one of the most-wanted kingpins in the world.

– How it runs a complex fentanyl and meth trafficking empire

– Its international money laundering syndicate

World of Crime's Guides to Organized Crime provide policymakers, law enforcement officials, academics, and a curious public with short but comprehensive looks at transnational criminal threats.
