This account of Pablo Escobar, the leader of the Medellin cocaine cartel in Colombia, is a brilliant example of investigative journalism. Thirty million people were kept captive by Escobar's criminal empire during a reign of terror that would only end with his death. Award-winning writer Mark Bowden provides a detailed and intimate account of previously unreported information of the sixteen-month clandestine search launched by the United States. Bowden has created a compelling story that is a stark depiction of harsh justice in the real world thanks to his unheard-of access to key figures, such as Colombian President Cisar Gaviria and Colonel Hugo Martinez, the uncorruptible leader of the special police unit that pursued Escobar. Bowden has also obtained transcripts of Escobar's intercepted phone conversations and top-secret documents.
