Description
THE POPULAR SERIES NARCOS CAPTURES ONLY HALF THE TRUTH. HERE, AT LAST, IS THE FULL STORY.
THE INTERNATIONAL BEST SELLER!
Until now, we believed that everything had been said about the rise and fall of Pablo Escobar, the most infamous drug kingpin of all time, but these versions have always been told from the outside, never from the intimacy of his own home.
More than two decades after the full-fledged manhunt finally caught up with the king of cocaine, Juan Pablo Escobar travels to the past to reveal an unabridged version of his father—a man capable of committing the most extreme acts of cruelty while simultaneously professing infinite love for his family.
This is not the story of a child seeking redemption for his father, but a shocking look at the consequences of violence and the overwhelming need for peace and forgiveness.
Reviews
Great book
5By SarrrrritaI have been obsessed with reading about Pablo. I had not read previous books so it was kind of hard to follow what was really going on as far as the the political side. I should have read another book first outlining the criminal side first to better follow what his son was talking about. However, I loved this book. So if you haven’t read much on him you will still love this book. I take that back, I tried reading a book written by one of Pablo’s girlfriends, Virginia, but it was more about her huge ego and her life story than Pablo, I couldn’t even finish it. I was glad to see Juan Pablo was able to get out of Columbia and not be the person his father was, his mother should be respected because she raised a wonderful son.
