Story
Roger Reaves grew up a poor farm boy in Georgia and went from making 'moonshine' to becoming one of the most prolific smugglers of the 20th century. He covered six continents, transporting 20 ton ship loads of hash, tons of cocaine, and completed more than 100 sorties across the US border with plane loads of marijuana. His friends and associates spanned the globe - from Medellin Cartel kingpins Jorge Ochoa and Pablo Escobar, to "Mr. Nice" Howard Marks and the infamous Barry Seal who was Roger's close friend and employee.

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.

It was also notorious for corruption and vice, everything from gambling, prostitution, bootleg liquor, and drugs to contract killings. The vice was controlled by small cabal of mobsters, many of them rumored to be members of the Dixie Mafia. Keith Rudy and Hugh Malco grew up in Biloxi in the sixties and were childhood friends, as well as Little League all-stars.

Publisher's summary
Blow is the unlikely story of George Jung's roller-coaster ride from middle-class high school football hero to the heart of Pablo Escobar's Medellín cartel - the largest importer of the United States cocaine supply in the 1980s.
Jung's early business of flying marijuana into the United States from the mountains of Mexico took a dramatic turn when he met Carlos Lehder, a young Colombian car thief with connections to the then newly-born cocaine operation in his native land. Together they created a new model for selling cocaine, turning a drug used primarily by the entertainment elite into a massive and unimaginably lucrative enterprise - one whose earnings, if legal, would have ranked the cocaine business as the sixth-largest private enterprise in the Fortune 500.
The ride came to a screeching halt when DEA agents and Florida police busted Jung with 300 kilos of coke, effectively unraveling his fortune. But George wasn't about to go down alone. He planned to bring down with him one of the biggest cartel figures ever caught.
With a riveting insider account of the lurid world of international drug smuggling and a supercharged drama of one man's meteoric rise and desperate fall, Bruce Porter chronicles Jung's life using unprecedented eyewitness sources in this critically-acclaimed true-crime classic.

Interesting to an extent but a whole lot of padding
This was in interesting story spoiled by a huge and unnecessary amount of padding. George’s story is fascinating but did I need to spend hours listening to the highlights of every game of college football he played and who is favourite teachers were? Likewise did I need to know about his weird sexual fetishises. Absolutely not.
It’s was a little anticlimactic too. The whole thing unravels quickly and surprisingly easily - there’s no particular drama involved. I can’t believe that in an area of “work” like this, he didn’t get into a few more scrapes/dangerous situations.
If you want to hear this story, I would look for an abridged version.

The movie is one of my favourites, however, the book is a different level. Obviously with a book, you get far more detail and the story telling is excellent. The narrator of the audiobook does a brilliant job and probably the best narrator of an audiobook I have heard. Its a must listen.

A great story told well.
Interesting how the movie differs from the book in some ways

This topics been saturated now
It wasn't until I started listening to this that I realised how many books and movies I've watched, read or listened to on this topic.
They're all pretty much as follows...
1. Small time dealer
2. Large scale trafficker
3. Anecdotes of the highlife
3. Busted by the Feds
4. Jail
5. Write a book
I didn't finish this one.

Story
Over the course of his 27 years with the DEA, Ed Follis bought eight-balls of cocaine in a red Corvette, negotiated multimillion-dollar deals onboard private King Airs, and developed covert relationships with men who were not only international drug traffickers but - in some cases - operatives for al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Shan United Army, or the Mexican federation of cartels. Follis was, in fact, one of the driving forces behind the agency's radical shift from a limited local focus to a global arena.
