Charles Bowden on “Murder City:
Ciudad Juárez and the Global Economy’s New Killing Fields”


A new report by the Mexican government has found the death toll from the so-called drug war is much higher than previously thought. Nearly 23,000 people have been killed in drug-related violence in Mexico since a US-backed military crackdown on cartels began more than three years ago. The report said 2009 was the deadliest year in the drug war, with over 9,600 people killed. The death toll is on track to be even higher in 2010 with more than 3,300 people in the first three months of this year alone. We speak to reporter Charles Bowden, author of “Murder City: Ciudad Juárez and the Global Economy’s New Killing Fields.”
