This book is incredible -- detailed, well written, and very, very disturbing. It tells the story of a little understood and less publicized battle being fought, right now, against organized crime cartels destroying public and private lands alike, and the imminent danger they pose to those who might unwittingly stumble onto their operations. In chapter after chapter, Lt. John Nores takes the reader through one hairy encounter after another, where specialized teams of tough, stealthy, smart, and well organized and equipped operators go headlong into the fight against an often hidden foe who seems to have all the advantages. Well, all the advantages except lots of guns, and the element of surprise, that is. I simply could not put this book down, and it infuriated me to no end to know that this stuff goes in in some of the very same places I have hiked and enjoyed for years. It is a mystery to me why this is not a better publicized problem, why there are as few operators doing this job as there seem to be, and why more isn't being done about it. This is a life-and-death battle that should be better understood by all. READ THIS BOOK.
