      Hmm, I think starting with the getaway plane for the Kiki Camarena affair should get you started on the rabbit hole of the cia. The origins of the Zeta cartel is also a starting point.

      The CIA as Organized Crime by Douglas Valentine or Operation Gladio by Paul L. Williams are good overviews

          Oh sorry I thought you meant criminal cartels in general, not just the Mexican ones. They’re mentioned a little in the Valentine book but only in passing for Gladio. If you can get the translation, Los Señores del Narco does go into a bit more detail and I haven’t read it but La CIA, Camarena y Caro Quintero by Esquivel apparently goes into it.
