About this product

Product Information

A tour de force of investigative journalism, Killing Pablo tells 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 covert sixteen-month manhunt that was led by US Special Forces and intelligence services. 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.

Brilliant!
I don't know why but I'm interested in Pablo Escobar, I don't condone what he did by any means but I'm fascinated, so I do reccomend this book, it's a good addition to Marcos series 1 and 2.

Really interesting and well written
Bought after reading Bowden's 'Black Hawk Down' which is brilliantly written & really transports you to the streets of Mogadishu. This is slightly less compelling but still very good read and a real insight into the war on drugs. Worth a read.
