Murderer, philanthropist, drug dealer, politician, devil, saint: many words have been used to describe Pablo Escobar, but one is irrefutable -- legend. For the poor of Colombia, he was their Robin Hood, a man whose greatness lay not in his crimes, but in his charity; for the Colombian rich he was just a bloodthirsty gangster, a Bogie Man used to scare children into their beds; for the rest of the world flush with his imported cocaine, he was public enemy number 1. During his reign as the world's most notorious outlaw, he ordered the murder of thousands -- at one point even bombing a passenger jet -- smuggled drugs into the US in mini-submarines inspired by Bond films, was elected to parliament, staged midnight escapes through the jungle from whole army battalions, built his own prison, consorted with presidents, controlled an estimated fortune of over $20 billion, and managed to outwit the secret American forces sent to kill him for over 3 years. His ambition was as boundless as his violence, and neither was ever satisfied. This is the first major, and definitive, biography of this remarkable criminal life, told in jaw-dropping detail by the one man who, more than any other, can understand just how far he came and just how low he fell: his brother, Roberto Escobar.

Discusses the cocaine trade, the Medellin Cartell, government corruption, and violence in Columbia through an examination of the drug lord's life

Las historias familiares son historias de silencios y solo el paso del tiempo le da un espacio a la verdad. Hasta ahora creíamos que se había dicho todo sobre Pablo Escobar, uno de los peores criminales de América Latina, pero siempre han sido versiones contadas desde afuera, nunca desde la intimidad del hogar. Veintiún años después de la muerte del jefe del cartel de Medellín, Juan Pablo Escobar viaja hacia un pasado que no eligió para mostrar una versión inédita de su padre, el hombre capaz de llegar a los peores extremos de crueldad, al tiempo que profesaba amor infinito por su familia. Este no es el libro de un hijo que busca redención para su padre, sino el relato estremecedor de las consecuencias de la violencia.

The extraordinary story of the richest and most violent gangster in history--from his youth, his bid for political power, his domination of the world's cocaine trade, his campaign against the Colombian state during which thousands died, his imprisonment in a luxurious private jail, his escape, through to his eventual capture and shooting--is told in hundreds of photographs gathered by photographer James Mollison in Colombia. Exhaustively researched, this visual biography includes photographs from Escobar family albums, pictures by Escobar's bodyguards, pictures from police files (both shot by the police and taken in raids on Escobar's premises) and snapshots by the Federal Drug Administration officer who helped hunt Escobar down. The book's illuminating text draws on new interviews with family members, other gangsters, Colombian police and judges and other survivors of Escobar's killing sprees, supplemented by contemporary photographs by Mollison of Escobar's fleet of planes, his private zoo, arms caches captured by the police--and even Escobar's prison jukebox. A compelling picture story and a landmark in visual journalism.

En julio de 2006 un avión de la DEA sacó a Virginia Vallejo de Colombia. Su vida estaba en peligro por haberse convertido en el testigo clave de los dos procesos criminales más importantes de la segunda mitad del siglo XX en su país: el asesinato de un candidato presidencial y el holocausto del Palacio de Justicia.Veinticinco años antes, Virginia Vallejo era la presentadora de televisión más importante de Colombia y la belleza profesional que aparecía en las portadas de las principales revistas. Cortejada por multimillonarios tradicionales, conoció en 1982 a Pablo Escobar, un misterioso político de treinta y tres años que en realidad manejaba los hilos de un mundo de riqueza inigualable en el que gran parte del incesante flujo de dinero procedente del tráfico de cocaína se canalizaba a proyectos de caridad y a las campañas de candidatos presidenciales de su elección.Este libro, una apasionada historia de amor convertida en crónica del horror y la vergüenza, describe la evolución de una de las mentes criminales más siniestras de nuestro tiempo: su capacidad de infundir terror y generar corrupción, los vínculos entre sus negocios ilícitos y varios jefes de estado, los asesinatos de candidatos presidenciales y la guerra en que sumió a su país. Amando a Pablo, odiando a Escobar es también la única visión íntima posible del legendario barón del narcotráfico, plena de glamour y espíritu de supervivencia y no exenta de humor. Virginia Vallejo narra esta historia descarnada como nadie más podría haberlo hecho.
