Born in the prisons of California in the late 1960s, Nuestra Familia expanded to control drug trafficking and extortion operations throughout the northern half of the state, and left a trail of bodies in its wake. Award-winning journalist Julia Reynolds tells the gang's story from the inside out, following young men and women as they search for a new kind of family, quests that usually lead to murder and betrayal. Blood in the Fields also documents the history of Operation Black Widow, the FBI's questionable decade-long effort to dismantle the Nuestra Familia, along with its compromised informants and the turf wars it created with local law enforcement agencies. Reynolds used her unprecedented access to gang members, both in and out of prison, as well as undercover wire taps, depositions, and court documents to weave a gripping, comprehensive history of this brutal criminal organization and the lives it destroyed"-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a Nuestra Familia (Gang) 650 0 $a Gangs $z California. 650 0 $a Mexican American gangs $z California. 650 0 $a Prison gangs $z California. 650 0 $a Gang members $z California. 650 7 $a TRUE CRIME / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / Hispanic American Studies. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Criminals & Outlaws. $2 bisacsh 941 $a 1 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722044131.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B4F7374C4AC211E4A452877EDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IW9Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
