Killing Pablo

De: Mark Bowden

Narrado por: Mark Bowden

Includes enhanced CD with exclusive video of the actual hunt for Pablo Escobar
On July 22, 1992, Colombian druglord Pablo Escobar walked out of the luxurious prison he built for himself and disappeared into the Colombian jungle. His audacious escape destroyed the nation's tenuous ceasefire with its infamous narcos, and pushed it into open war with the Medellin Drug cartel.
Over the coming days and weeks, the United States launched a joint military and intelligence operation with the Colombian government, assembling a team of expert personnel and an arsenal of state-of-the-art weaponry and surveillance technology the likes of which the world had never seen. Their mission: to track down Pablo.
But this time, they knew it would not be enough to just capture Escobar. This time, they would have to finish the job. This time, they were going to kill him.
Killing Pablo is the inside story of the brutal rise and violent fall of Colombian cocaine cartel kingpin Pablo Escobar. Bowden's gripping narrative sounds as if it were torn from the pages of a military technothriller. Action-packed and unputdownable, Killing Pablo is a tour de force of investigative journalism and a stark portrayal of rough justice in the real world.©2001 Mark Bowden, All Rights Reserved; (P)2001 Simon & Schuster Inc.; AUDIOWORKS Is an Imprint of Simon & Schuster Audio Division, Simon & Schuster Inc.

Abridged

I read the full book and was excited to see this here. I love the book. I love the narration. The reason I’m giving this a three star overall and story is because it’s the abridged version. I was disappointed when I realized there was a full section missing.

Too short

it was a great story but it was short. I hoping to hear more detail about all of the major players involved.

Great story, poor narration

Mark Bowden does a great job researching and writing these true stories, but is a rather poor narrator.

Would rather full story

Great book but shortened. Would rather it be the full book. Still recommend if you like Pablo's story or don't know anything ab it

great read!

highly recommend this book for all fans of the Escobar story. Give it a chance.
