1. Blood Gun Money
How America Arms Gangs and Cartels
A searing investigative account of how the U.S. gun market and lax regulation fuel violent crime and drug-trafficking across the Americas, tracing weapons from manufacturers, wholesalers and border-smuggling networks to cartels, gangs and corrupt officials; combining on-the-ground reporting from Mexico, Central America and U.S. border towns with interviews, court records and data, the book exposes the economic and political forces that make arms trafficking profitable, the human cost in shattered communities, and the policy gaps that allow the flow to continue while proposing reforms to stem the violence.
