Great read about lucifer aka Pablo Escobar

Book was very informative. It did a very good job detailing the time period of Pablo Escobar's rise and fall. Written very neutral and represented both sides of the hunters and huntee very well. A very complex operation during a time that was much different then today. If only we had the capabilities to apply the pressure the columbians used then we could probably capture or kill Bin Laden today. Similar paralles although Pablo's vice was drug trade and money, Bin Laden appears to be religion and hate. Wished the book had a few more pictures that expandeed on the charcters and groups that represented Pablo and those that represented the government. Good book that I would recommend to anyone wanting to learn more about Pablo Escobar.

Learning about the Columbian Drug Cartel is informative

Killing Pablo is the story of the life of Pablo Escabar, the leader of the Columbian Drug Cartel. The time that he spent in power and the time when he lost it all, when all sorts of law enforcement and mercenaries were after him.
Pablo Escabar was the Columbian Drug boss. He had alot of pride in his family, they were the most important part of his life, and the most important part in his drug filled world. Pablo was so rich that when ever he got into trouble with the drug enforcement agency or any type of the law he could bribe his way out of trouble by paying off the officials.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in finding out more about the columbian drug cartel and the Escabar family.

Another Bowden Thriller

The full story of the life and times of Pablo Escobar: from his early life of crime as a headstone thief to his brutal rise to the pinnacle of the Medellin drug cartel. Most of the story however, is about how the joint military and intelligence Task Force eventually cornered and killed the drug Kingpin. That Task Force, was led by Ambassador Morris (Buzz) Busby, Navy Seal and ex-DCM for the Conference on Disarmament under Ambassador Louis (Lou) Fields (while I served as part of the US delegation with him.)

The US "Delta Force," in conjunction with the Colombian security forces in an operation called "Centra Spike" had to pull out all of the stops to finally locate and kill the elusive fugitive.

Not since "Black Hawk Down" has Mark Bowden written such a gripping thriller. Anyone who liked Black Hawk Down will love this one too.

Five Stars
