About this ebook
Ideally qualified for telling this story, Sandra Rodr guez Nieto was an investigative reporter for the daily newspaper El Diario de Ju rez for nearly a decade. Despite tremendous danger and the assassination of one of her closest colleagues, she persisted. She didn't want the story of her city told solely by foreign reporters, because, in her words, "I know what is underneath the violence." This book traces the rise of a national culture of murder and bloody retribution, and is a testament to the extraordinary bravery of its author. Among other things, The Story of Vicente is an account of how poverty, political corruption, failing government institutions and US meddling combined to create an explosion of violence in Ju rez.
