About the Book

"McKenzie brings a range of experiences and understandings to the situation that one does not usually find in books written by academics. In fact, it was because of his experiences as an autoworker, and particularly one from this plant, that drove his determination to try to find out what happened in Cuautitlán"--Covert Action Magazine

Is it possible that the if the CIA, the Ford Motor Company, the AFL-CIO, and the Mexican government acted against a democratic, rank-and-file union of workers at a Ford assembly plant near Mexico City? Horrifically, the answer is yes, according to author and former autoworker Rob McKenzie.

True crime meets political thriller in this explosive exposé of US meddling in Mexico. The proof is all here in his shocking, accessibly, and well-researched book. "Early in my research, a friend with excellent knowledge of the United Auto Workers internal operations told me, 'Don't give up. They are hiding something'..."

It's 1990, and US labor is being outsourced to Mexico. Rumors of a violent confrontation at the Mexican Ford Assembly plant on January 8 reach the United Auto Workers (UAW) union in the US: nine employees had been shot by a group of drunken thugs and gangsters, in an act of political repression which changed the course of Mexican and US workers' rights forever.

Rob McKenzie was working at the Ford Twin Cities Assembly plant in Minnesota when he heard of the attack. He didn't believe the official story and began a years-long investigation to uncover the truth.

His findings took him further than he expected--all the way to the doors of the CIA. Virtually unknown outside of Mexico, the full story of "El Golpe," or "The Coup," is a dark tale of political intrigue that still resonates today.
