GovSec West is a security conference taking place in Phoenix, AZ on November 14-16, 2011. It provides relevant and timely insights, tools and tactics to anticipate, prepare, prevent and respond to terrorism, accidental and natural disasters, and attacks on critical infrastructure. I will be both a participant and a presenter, providing a session on the impact of the debate over border violence spillover. I'll also be doing a joint book signing with keynote speaker and good friend Nicholas Stein, series producer of National Geographic Channel's "Border Wars."
In partnership with GovSec West, I'm doing a giveaway this week for a signed copy of my new book, Cartel: The Coming Invasion of Mexico's Drug Wars! All you have to do to enter for your chance to win is one of two things:
1. Make a comment on this blog post that you're interested in entering the contest
2. Click on this link and tweet the text there through your Twitter account: http://ow.ly/6ESBx
Five people will be randomly chosen from everyone who either posts a comment on this blog post or tweets the above message between now and Friday, October 7th. Those five people will win a signed copy of Cartel. Thanks for your participation, and good luck!


Would love to get a copy of your book.

Props to you! I can't wait to get a copy on my nightstand! Our proximity to the border reveals more than what's being said by officials.

Sylvia, you have a winner. In dealing with the day to day news reports from Spanish media on the cartels, I am more than just familiar with the subject. I highly recommend this book for everyone seeking a well rounded and thorough perspective. Let's hope it awakens more Americans to what is here and what is coming.
