Summary
Three fast-paced true-crime stories packed into a blistering exposé of the War on Drugs.
Featuring deadly Colombian drug lords and the CIA, these three books have hundreds of five-star reviews on Amazon and Goodreads.
Pablo Escobar: Beyond Narcos
The mind-blowing true story of Pablo Escobar and the Medellín 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.
Pablo Escobar: Beyond Narcos demolishes the standard good versus evil telling of Pablo’s story. The authorities were not hunting Pablo down to stop his cocaine business. They were taking over it.
The Cali Cartel: Beyond Narcos
From the ashes of Pablo Escobar’s empire rose an even bigger and more malevolent cartel. A new breed of sophisticated mobsters became the kings of cocaine. Their leader was Gilberto Rodríguez Orejuela - known as the Chess Player due to his foresight and calculated cunning.
Gilberto and his terrifying brother, Miguel, ran a multi-billion-dollar drug empire like a corporation. They employed a politically astute brand of thuggery and spent $10 million to put a president in power. Although the godfathers from Cali preferred bribery over violence, their many loyal torturers and hit men were never idle.
American Made: Who Killed Barry Seal? Pablo Escobar or George H. W. Bush
Set in a world where crime and government coexist, American Made is the jaw-dropping true story of CIA pilot Barry Seal that the Hollywood movie starring Tom Cruise was afraid to tell.
Barry Seal flew cocaine and weapons worth billions of dollars into and out of America in the 1980s. After he became a government informant, Pablo Escobar’s Medellin Cartel offered a million for him alive and half a million dead. But his real trouble began after he threatened to expose the dirty dealings of George HW Bush.
American Made rips the roof off Bush and Clinton’s complicity in cocaine trafficking in Mena, Arkansas.

More great work from Shaun Attwood but repetitive.
A great presentation of interesting facts. However, after listening to the 1st book, the following 2 were extremely repetitive. I struggled with this and at times, wondered if I had inadvertently skipped back several chapters.
The narrators were all very good, and equally enjoyable.
I would recommend this collection for anyone interested in the Columbian cartels and the war on drugs, but I would suggest taking a break between each book.

Insanely detailed book
This book is long, and that's because it contains a large amount of details. I am amazed that so much is known about Pablo's and Barry's lives.
It is overall interesting. These facts need to be known by anyone to understand how the world used to function back then, and probably still does to this day.
After reading/listening to this book, you won't see the world with the same eyes. If you are ready to swallow that red pill, buy the book.

Fairly informative
You listen to one, you've listened to them all. Very repetitive. Way too repetitive. There are some areas when you go: oh wow, didn't know that.
But that's fairly seldom
