520    The term 'Mexican Drug War' implies that the ongoing 
       bloodbath, which has now killed well over 100,000 people, 
       is an internal Mexican affair. But this diverts attention 
       from the U.S. role in creating and sustaining the carnage.
       It's not just that Americans buy drugs from, and sell 
       weapons to, Mexico's murderous cartels. It's that ever 
       since the U.S. prohibited the use and sale of drugs in the
       early 1900s, it has pressured Mexico into acting as its 
       border enforcer-with increasingly deadly 
       consequences.Mexico was not a helpless victim. Powerful 
       forces within the country profited hugely from supplying 
       Americans with what their government forbade them. But the
       policies that spawned the drug war have proved disastrous 
       for both countries. Written by two award-winning authors, 
       one American and the other Mexican, A Narco History 
       reviews the interlocking twentieth-century histories that 
       produced this twenty-first century calamity, and proposes 
       how to end it.
