08.19: Midnight in Mexico

2013-07-10 23:33:40| Powells Books Events Calendar

In the last six years, more than 80,000 people have been killed in the Mexican drug war. In a country where the powerful are rarely scrutinized, noted Mexican American journalist Alfredo Corchado refuses to shrink from reporting on government corruption, murders in Juárez, or the ruthless drug cartels of Mexico. In 2007, Corchado received a tip that he could be one of the cartel's next targets — and he had 24 hours to find out if the threat was true. Rather than leave his country, Corchado went out into the Mexican countryside to investigate the threat. Midnight in Mexico: A Reporter's Journey through a Country's Descent into Darkness (Penguin Press) is the story of one man's quest to report the truth of his country — as he raced to save his own life.
