Killing Pablo

Mark Bowden recounts the dramatic multinational manhunt for Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar, whose Medellin cartel bombed civilian aircraft, assassinated presidential candidates and waged open war on the Colombian state. The book details the joint Colombian-American intelligence operation, the cartel's internal fractures and the political negotiations that culminated in Escobar's death in December 1993.
