Nazar Haro could be the personification of darkness. He led what is considered the most perverse institution in Mexican history--the Federal Security Agency--during a time in which it destroyed activists and disappeared hundreds of rebels, dissidents, and students. He also created the White Brigade, and to those he considered "enemies of the system," Nazar became the most repressive and corrupt face of the government... This book puts together his story. It is the result of a great number of interviews with the former head of the now extinct agency, conducted between February 1993 and December 2011. The Tiger portrays his childhood, his adolescence, his life as an agent, his anti-communism beliefs, his powerful past, useful to the men who ran the country, as well as his downfall, and being abandoned by those he collaborated with, people like Luis Echeverra lvarez. These pages--that only now can be made known--tell the story that led to his arrest in February 2004, his return to freedom, and his dying of grief.
