Publisher's Summary

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 cease-fire 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.

good crime novel

this is overall a good non-fiction account of what happened in Colombia with Escobar. I think it is important as some of the current view seems to be that Escobar was some sort of hero who should be worshipped. this presents him as someone who really was a bad person, did a lot of killing, but also was occasionally nice. it was also presented in a clear way that showed why in that time and place they could not capture Escobar, but had to execute him
