Summary The reporters investigated the war unfolding along the U.S.-Mexican border involving drug trafficking organizations and both governments. The authors were interested in going beyond the body counts to why this violence was happening, why it had begun to accelerate and how it had reached cities like Dallas, hundreds of miles north of the border.
