Resource/Recommended Read: Mexico's Drug Trafficking Organizations: Source and Scope of the Rising Violence 3Aug12

This piece provides readers excellent context, for both novice and experts,
regarding Mexico's Drug War. The author introduces readers to the history
of the drug conflict and its impact on the state from political,
military/security, informational/perceptual, economic, societal and other
realms. The only thing the piece appears to lack are some deeper societal
and cultural impacts the drug has on society, but those can be obtained by
reading other material.
