About this product

Product Information

A tour de force of investigative journalism-this is the story of the violent rise and fall of Pablo Escobar, the head of the Colombian Medellin cocaine cartel. Escobar's criminal empire held a nation of thirty million hostage in a reign of terror that would only end with his death. In an intense, up-close account, award-winning journalist Mark Bowden exposes details never before revealed about the U.S.-led covert sixteen-month manhunt. With unprecedented access to important players including Colombian president Cisar Gaviria and the incorruptible head of the special police unit that pursued Escobar, Colonel Hugo Martinez-as well as top-secret documents and transcripts of Escobar's intercepted phone conversations, Bowden has produced a gripping narrative that is a stark portrayal of rough justice in the real world."

  • Good story with great documentation.

    A great value. I read the book back in 2001, but I now find myself fact checking with the Narcos and Pablo Escobar Patron de Mal on Netflix.

  • Killing Pablo

    Great story line and excellent plot. Author has a unique way of telling the story and mixes in great factual information to make for an extremely entertaining and easy read.

  • Great Book!

    Not as much swearing as Black Hawk Down, which is nice, so it's really good! Very interesting, and hard to put down.
