My first non fiction of the year and it was amazing. When I first started to read it I couldn't find any info whatsoever about it. Is a shame because this book shows one of the worst nightmares for Asia and Latin America from the 80s to the early 2000s. There are thousands of stories about people who were caught with drugs and later killed for a lot of governments around that time, and its hard to find what truly happened. Specially when most of these cases get unsolved and their names pass over as "another drug dealer". A lot of families had lost their loved ones because there was no one there to defend them, only media to show and sell their long roads to death. This was greatly done, specially for a book so short. I definitely recommend it.
