The Killing Fields: Harvest
of Women
The truth about Mexico’s bloody legacy
By: Diana Washington Valdez
Explosive
book exposes the Mexican killing fields that claimed the lives of hundreds of
women at the Juarez, Mexico border.
The author's dangerous investigation reveals high-level corruption, a drug
cartel run amok and more. Hollywood
took note and produced a movie starring Jennifer Lopez and Antonio Banderas.
Amnesty International, the United Nations and the U.S. State Department want
the Mexican government to put an end to the murders and disappearances that
have spread to other places. Exclusive material, including FBI interviews, puts
this book at the frontlines of the issue. Author is the expert on the ghastly
border crimes. It is the first nonfiction book in English about the murders
that attracted international attention.
