The University of Arizona’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute recently hosted University of Arizona Press authors James H. Creechan to talk about his new book, Drug Wars and Covert Netherworld: The Transformations of Mexico’s Narco Cartels.
In Drug Wars and Covert Netherworlds, Creechan draws on decades of research to paint a much more nuanced picture of the transformation of Mexico’s narco cartels. A sociologist and criminologist, Creechan details narco cartel history, focusing on the decades since Richard Nixon declared the War on Drugs. With sobering detail, he unravels a web of government dependence, legitimate enterprises, covert connections, and violent infighting.
