Bowden Charles - Murder City Ciudad Juarez And The Global Economy's New Killing Fields - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Ciudad Ju rez lies just across the Rio Grande from El Paso Texas. A once - thriving border town it now resembles a failed state. Infamously known as the place where women disappear its murder rate exceeds that of Baghdad or Mogadishu. In Murder City Charles Bowden has written an extraordinary account of what happens when a city disintegrates. Interweaving stories of its inhabitants - a raped beauty queen a repentant hit man a journalist fleeing for his life - with a broader meditation on the town's descent into anarchy Bowden reveals how Ju rez's culture of violence will not only worsen but inevitably spread north.
