Pablo Escobar
Pablo Escobar: Beyond Narcos | Shaun Attwood
2 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
The mind-blowing true story of Pablo Escobar and the Medellin Cartel beyond their portrayal on Netflix. Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar was a devoted family man and a psychopathic killer; a terrible enemy, yet a wonderful friend. While donating millions to the poor, he bombed and tortured his enemies - some had their eyeballs removed with hot spoons. Through ruthless cunning and America's insatiable appetite for cocaine, he became a multi-billionaire, who lived in a $100-million house with its own zoo. Shaun Attwood's War on Drugs trilogy - Pablo Escobar, Mena, and We Are Being Lied To - is a series of harrowing, action-packed and interlinked true stories that demonstrate the devastating consequences of drug prohibition."

"Over food, George HW Bush boasted that he operated on the Big Lie principle, whereby big lies would be believed because the public couldn‘t conceive that their leader was capable of bending the truth that far, such as a president railing against drugs while overseeing drug trafficking worth billions."
Finished this today. Truly horrifying how complicit the American government was in drug and weapons trafficking. #AtY #booksetinSouthAmerica
