The true story of a police chief who took on the cartels and survived eight assassination attempts

Julian Leyzaola Perez, a former military officer turned police chief, declared open war on the drug cartels in Tijuana, Mexico and Juarez, Mexico. Murder rates in both cities dropped, but outrage spilled over regarding human-rights abuses committed by Leyzaola's police force. Were Leyzaola's hardball policies justified? What were his loyalties? In a society known for rampant political corruption at all levels, was it possible for a police chief to play a clean game?
