"George Grayson and Samuel Logan provide the most detailed analysis to date of the Zetas, Mexico's most brutal criminal group. The Executioner's Men captures the sophisticated nature of the Zetas' organizational structures and operations as well as the depraved flavor of the Zetas' lives."
--Vanda Felbab-Brown, fellow at the Brookings Institution; author, Shooting Up: Counterinsurgency and the War on Drugs
"Carefully researched and vividly written, The Executioner's Men provides the most detailed analysis currently available of the 'Zetas, ' Mexico's most violent and aggressive criminal organization. The book will be essential to scholars, policy-makers, and the public in their efforts to grasp the dimensions of the challenges posed by a new breed of organized crime to Mexico and the United States."
