Pablo Escobar: My Father

Product Description

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER FROM PABLO ESCOBAR'S SONUntil now we believed that everything had been said about the rise & fall of the most infamous drug lord of all time Pablo Escobar
- from books to film to the cult series Narcos' But these versions have always been told from the outside only capturing half the truth & never from the intimacy of his own home Now more than two decades after the full-fledged manhunt finally caught up with Escobar his son brings us the dramatic truth as never before Here we find a man of contradictions
- generosity & infinite love for his family; yet capable of the most extreme acts of cruelty & violence In a deeply personal exploration of his father we see the inner world of a man who was celebrated by some as a benevolent Robin Hood figure & by others as a dangerous leader of the most ruthless mafia organisation in human history reaping vengeance & death on anyone that might stand in his way When Escobar died his then teenage son vowed revenge But Escobar Jr quickly recognised that meant following in his father's footsteps-something neither of them had ever wanted With his change of heart he denounced the Pablo Escobar legacy This is far from the story of a child seeking redemption but a shocking look at the consequences of violence & his attempt to come to terms with it
