The Dope: The Real History of the Mexican Drug Trade by Benjamin Smith. Traces the history of the drug trade back through the Mexican revolution through current day trends. Interesting analysis on the market and the nature of the associated violence.

The author did an interview over on The New Books Network that I found interesting. You might dig it if you liked the book: https://newbooksnetwork.com/the-dope
