About this listen

 [Contains sensitive content] Once a sleepy, well-to-do town on the border with Texas, how had Allende become a stronghold for the notoriously brutal Zetas cartel? Residents and lawmakers relive the town's terrifying takeover, enforced by the cartel's gunmen and local police-turned-henchmen. Former Zetas operatives reveal how they asserted power not just in Allende, but the entire region on the Mexico-US border.©2018 Audible Originals, LLC (P)2018 Audible Originals, LLC Exciting

Really thoughtful! And also really sad story. It makes us wonder about humanity and how people lose that so easily.

The drug cartel story unfolds like a slow burn...it's easy to forget that this is actually based on true events, since the voices are so theatrically convincing (esp Danny Trejo's--love that guy!) and create its own encapsulated world of terror. I felt for all characters (good and diabolical), I didn't want it to end, and I hope that the audio world develops more hybrid stories like this. Thank you to the creators--fantastic reporting and drama!

Psycho killers who played the offensive plot from the time they left the Military and with no stops in place, it snowballed into a Terrorizing \ Cartel outfit which was going to keep reeking havoc until it destroys itself, or until the enablers decide to do something about it... The DEA was doing what they usually do, it's not their fault that Mexico let these psycho killers take over the country.....

Psycho killers on the offensive...

Excellent.. and real. A must listen to. You can see why so many get involved in the drug trade even when they don't want to. Brutal.
