Description: Mexico's growing pains in the era of NAFTA and globalization have been singularly acute and dramatic: a guerrilla uprising, the assassination of political leaders, revelations of high-level corruption, economic collapse, and a $50 billion bailout. Bordering on Chaos is an unrivaled account of the headline-making events that have threatened Mexico's social, political, and economic stability.

It is essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand Mexico today - when, more than ever before, what happens in Mexico directly affects the U.S. national interest.
