Charles Bowden

I just got done listening to Charles Bowdens' "Murder City" lecture about the killings in Ciudad Juarez and holy shit! Bowden, who has a great resonate voice out of a 40's western, has reported in Juarez for 20+ years and has some interesting things to say about the city. The big story about Juarez over the past decade has been the murder of 2000+ women but Bowden says that is just scratching the surface. Those 2000 murders are only 8% of the total murders and most of the victims are men. That is not to take away from the tragedy of the womens murders but to point out that their is a much much darker side to the inner workings of Juarez than the american people have been told. Listen to this man. Riveting and highly informative. I certainly plan on purchasing several of his books on the subject.
