Plot Summary of Killing Pablo:
The true story of the hunt for Colombian drug lord, Pablo Escobar, and his capture, secretly led by the U.S.
My Thoughts on Killing Pablo:
Any military/covert ops junkie will love Bowden’s (also the author of Blackhawk Down) story about the manhunt and capture of Escobar, especially the U.S.’ involvement.
But, Killing Pablo also opened my eyes to the environment the Colombia dealers were operating in (they were loved in their communities in some ways), which contributed to the difficulty of taking them down.
Killing Pablo is on my Books for Guys List.
Several years ago I listened to a book about Escobar that I found fascinating. I’ll have to look for this one.
