Probably walking the line with this one but I recommend "God's Middle Finger".
http://www.amazon.com/Gods-Middle-Finger-Lawless-Sierra/dp/B001OW5N0U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1375402380&sr=8-1&keywords=god%27s+middle+fingerIt's a non-fiction book of the author's first hand accounts of traveling through Mexico's Sierra Nevada mountain range that hosts a lawless environment and is home to druglords. (Think of the type that chased after Llewelyn Moss in "No Country for Old Men", the ones other than Anton Sugur.)
For the most part he travels in the rural areas where young women attend a school runned by an American volunteer until they are married and impregnanted by local teenage male drunkards. The young women are expected to be armed at all times to fend off rapists and the teacher even scolds one for only having her pistol while on her ranch but leaving her rifle behind in her house.
Corrupt cops dont fear intimidating an honest cop but are scared shitless of a person that may actually gun them down, especially if he has that kind of reputation in the area. Sharing a drink, smoke, or (insert narcotic here) is a great way to get to know some of these crazy people who will quickly view you as a friend and pull a few strings to make your day easier. Also mentions how outsiders ignorant of the area and ignoring caution get screwed over. At one point in the chapter he writes of how some drunken hillbillies "hunt" after him for sport but eventually lose interest.
I thought it was a good read and is probably a more realistic situation to prepare for in comparison to "Patriots".
