ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“The Martinez brothers’ marvelously written account about the life and death of a fearsome gang member “The Hollywood Kid”, based on numerous interviews with him and people close to him. In a very detailed and insightful way, the book reveals the underlying dynamics of the phenomena that are Central American gangs.” - Dennis Rodgers
What does the Reagan administration have to do with a gang member killing over 50 people in his country? What is the link between the Los Angeles of the 70s and the violence erupting in El Salvador in the new century? Would it be odd that in order to understand a killer from the MS-13 gang, we would need to explain an indigenous genocide, the processes of coffee making in El Salvador, and the 12-year civil war? Why would a country like El Salvador be indebted to a ruthless assassin?
There are many questions and many answers; one key mystery is precisely this one, the life of Miguel Angel Tobar, the kid from the Hollywood Locos clique of the MS-13. There are however, many questions still unanswered like, why so many decades later the US government, led by Donald Trump, has not been able to comprehend any of this?
