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 with the most likes.
Having prior knowledge of the escapades of Pablo Escobar as well as the struggles of his family after his death, I found this book to be somewhat credible. Juan Pablo does not sugar coat the misdeeds of his father and has worked to ask the forgiveness of those families devastated by the actions of Pablo. I lived in Bogota during that era and still find this a riveting story and almost impossible to believe but it's basically all true.
