Seldom do we see books that are technically fiction but based in hard reality and accurate historical details that match the brilliance of Don Winslow. I strongly encourage readers to read "The Power of the Dog" first, as it is the first half of a horrifying world of the Mexican drug cartels, their internal struggles, the jaw droppingly horrifying atrocities against anybody who dares cross a drug lord's path, or a cartel's. "The Cartel" is the second part of this monumental series, and because the first part is highly suggested as the first one to read, although "The Cartel" stands on its own, I will not get into too many plot details. The primary character, Art Keller, who has many notches on his own belt due to fighting in Vietnam and battles in the "War on Drugs", is a marked man having crossed every drug kingpin of note in Mexico and their paid lackeys like federal troops, corrupt politicians and police forces on all levels, not to mention the extremely violent paramilitary troops who enforce the wishes of the leaders of the notorious Zetas, a cartel that has absolutely no code of honor whatsoever. Whereas the other main character, the head of the Sinoloan cartel, the very crafty and intelligent Adan Barrera, at least gives the impression of leaving innocents alone, the Zetas kill anybody any time, including little street level junkies who are found guilty of buying their dope from Barerra's cartel instead of them, and vice versa. We can remember the horrible wars that racked Cuidad Juarez, the border city across the Rio Grande from El Paso, Texas, where murders were being committed by the scores of victims, many mutilated and tortured and then dismembered and left on city streets as "lessons" for whatever infraction the cartels thought up on any given day. Winslow reports that in this phase of the internecine fighting, as many as close to 16000 Juarez citizens were gruesomely murdered in the space of just a couple of years. While that calamity has subsided somewhat, the worst border crimes focusing in Nuevo Laredo and Laredo, TX, where access to I-35, San Antonio, I-10 with its paths to Houston, New Orleans and beyond to Jacksonville, Florida is a temptation they can't ignore. Border agents, DEA agents and others are corrupted and many times because they want to live another day, so as we all know, the "war" on drugs is nothing but a lot of hot air, token busts, and was never designed to stop anything. There is simply far too much money to be made, and the U.S.' appetite for cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and marijuana is gargantuan. We as the consumers of these substances are just as culpable if we do use illicit drugs as the cartels, as they are only too happy to make tons of money and have huge international influence on whole governments while they're at it. The book itself is so well written and researched that it truly belongs in the pantheon of the greatest crime novels or historical crime books, like "The Godfather" for the thrilling story and suspense, and "Wiseguys" and "Casino" for accuracy and explaining just how vicious and just plain psycho cartel bosses and their underlings can be. That the Mexican government is up to its eyeballs in the drug trade is not news, but one can't help but maybe feel a bit of empathy for some in said government and law enforcement who are paid to play, or brutally murdered, and oftentimes forced to watch their families die first. It isn't much of a choice. Nonetheless, Winslow is a superb author, the two books gripping, and I can't wait to read his other novels. Be forewarned: "The Power of the Dog" and "The Cartel" are upsetting, depressing and disturbing. It's a story that needs to be told, however, and we must understand that as long as there is a demand for any kind of product or services, regardless of how dangerous or sinister, there will be a supply. It's a frustrating cycle that humanity bestowed upon itself.
Wow...that's all I can really say. I have not read a book this good, that I couldn't put down, that kept me up half the night in a long time. I was actually sad when it ended. This book starts near the end and then goes back to the beginning. And then it brings us forward slowly and surely, drawing the reader in with characters who just come alive in their wickedness and humanity. There is also a lot of commentary here on the never ending war on drugs, something I personally played a minor role in during the late 80s and early 90s when I was in the military. Mr. Winslow has clearly done his research because he really gets how things work and how these various agencies act and interact. But the real value here is the characters. A protagonist and an antagonist who are perhaps one and the same. They dance around for most of the book but you know the eventual showdown is coming and when it does, it is worth the wait.If you are put off by violence as part of the story line, or upset by graphic depiction of that violence, there are some parts of this book that might be objectionable. This also isn't light summer reading, some of it can be pretty dark, but if you're looking for a book that will draw you in emotionally and take you for a wild satisfying ride, this is the way to go.
Don Winslow is a GREAT thriller writer. Every page of his novels make compelling reading, even if the same or similar events keep happening. (Hence, my FOUR-STAR rating.) THE CARTEL and the equally fine prequel, POWER OF THE DOG, follow his anti-hero, DEA Agent Art Keller, as he finds his calling in anti-drug work. We follow the Viet Nam Vet into his first DEA posting in Mexico where he meets Tio Barerra, a top anti-drug officer. Tio points him toward the 'fast track' in making drug arrests and cases...but...Tio is also the head of a major drug organization. Art loses his naivete but he has already become 'like family' to the Barreras, including a talented nephew, Adan. Both novels track their adversarial relationship over a lot of real Drug War history (the characters and events are largely fictional(ized) but the over-all story of US/Mexican relations and motivations is not.) Action is continuous, plotting is believable, characterization is complex and I believe readers will find them as compelling as I did. Loyalty, Family, Love and Sex are all explicitly 'on the page' in these novels. 'Escapists' can 'party with the Drug Lords' and their hot mistresses; tremble in fear with the innocent or not so innocent street level people, feel for a society that is being held back and torn apart by US market demand for narcotic thrills and follow the deadly but lucrative trade to meet that market.
The Cartel is a great sequel to the fantastic "Power of the Dog" (which I think must be read before the Cartel). THe Cartel continues the devastating story of the drug trade and culture in Mexico and the failed and nonsensical "war on drugs" being waged by this country. This book illustrates the lives of kingpins, cops (clean and dirty), journalists (clean and dirty), prison guards, snitches, federal agents, prostitutes, ordinary citizens, mercenaries, and their families. Allegiances and alliances constantly change. The violence is unending and indescribable (but sadly based on true events). No character is simple - each has their own motives, morality, successes and failures This book is hard to put down and and needs to be read by anyone having influence over US drug policy. Highly recommended.
