LONGWOOD, FL-One of America's top concerns is terrorism. The primary focus of the war on terror has been on foreign terrorist groups. Homegrown terror gangs, however, present more of a threat to Americans than foreign terrorists do. Written by former gang leader Bobby Delgado, Gangs, Prisons, Parole, $ the Politics Behind Them (paperback, 978-1-60477-022-3; hardcover, 978-1-60477-023-0) is a powerful new exposŽ of gang politics, highlighting Texas gangs, the Texas prison system, the corrupt authority figures in charge of the Texas prison system, and the government figures determined to protect it.
According to the Justice Department there are about 21,000 active gangs with more than 750,000 gang members nationwide. Of the 25,000 murders committed every year in the United States, most are attributed to homegrown terrorist gangs like MS-13, the Texas Syndicate, the Mexican Mafia, the Aryan Brotherhood, the Crips, and many other gangs. The damage done in loss of American lives, property crimes, and organized drug trafficking by homegrown gangs is incalculable. While foreign terrorists want to destroy the American way of life, the homegrown gang terrorists want to live it at the expense of American lives. Bobby Delgado, whose life has been transformed by God, states, "We are in a war on gangs and that war is winnable, but not under the current administrations." Discover how to win the war on terror in your own city or town based on Delgado's firsthand knowledge of gang politics and agendas.
Bobby Delgado spent 30 years in the Texas prison system and was a leading gang member.
