Pablo Escobar and Colombian Narcoculture
In the years since his death in 1993, Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar has become a globally recognized symbol of crime, wealth, power, and masculinity. In this long-overdue exploration of Escobar’s impact on popular culture, Aldona Bialowas Pobutsky shows how his legacy inspired the development of narcoculture—television, music, literature, and fashion representing the drug-trafficking lifestyle—in Colombia and around the world. Pobutsky looks at the ways the “Escobar brand” surfaces in bars, restaurants, and clothing lines; in Colombia’s tourist industry; and in telenovelas, documentaries, and narco memoirs about his life, which in turn have generated popular interest in other...

The true life of Pablo Escobar
"Hello beautiful. I am Popeye." In 1998 I met Jhon Jairo Velásquez Vásquez—alias "Popeye"—lieutenant to the Medellín Cartel's leader, Pablo Escobar Gaviria. Our first encounter was at the high security yard of the Modelo Prison in Bogotá, Colombia. I visited the prison frequently as a journalist for RCN TV. I was always conducting interviews and speaking to the inmates, uncovering news about what was really happening inside the prison. At that time, stories about confrontations between guerrilla and paramilitary factions were everyday news. You could often hear shots inside the prison as the different sides fought for control. I had always wanted to meet one of the members of the Med...
Pablo Escobar: My Father
THE POPULAR SERIES NARCOS CAPTURES ONLY HALF THE TRUTH. HERE, AT LAST, IS THE FULL STORY. THE INTERNATIONAL BEST SELLER! Until now, we believed that everything had been said about the rise and fall of Pablo Escobar, the most infamous drug kingpin of all time, but these versions have always been told from the outside, never from the intimacy of his own home. More than two decades after the full-fledged manhunt finally caught up with the king of cocaine, Juan Pablo Escobar travels to the past to reveal an unabridged version of his father—a man capable of committing the most extreme acts of cruelty while simultaneously professing infinite love for his family. This is not the story of a child seeking redemption for his father, but a shocking look at the consequences of violence and the overwhelming need for peace and forgiveness.
The Debriefer
In 1987, DEA Special Agent Alberto Fernández was assigned to the Intelligence Office in Miami that organized anti-narcotic infiltration operations in the city. Unexpectedly, he was ordered to a place known as the "Submarine," an obscure office used by federal prosecutors for interrogations. Agent Fernández, an expert interrogator with decades of experience, was all of a sudden involved in a plot of intrigues linked to a couple of powerful characters; the Colombian drug-trafficker Pablo Escobar and the Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega. After the arrival of a mysterious key witness, which had been working as a pilot for both Escobar and Noriega, Agent Fernández embarked onto a series of i...

Chasing Dictators
In 1981, DEA Special Agent Alberto Fernández, confronted the biggest challenge of his career: to stop cocaine traffic coming into the United States by way of the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Panamá, under the protection of the upper echelons in those three countries. These are the real stories of two of the most dangerous assignments in Agent Fernández's life. The first one, a high-risk infiltration operation at the heart of Jean-Claude Baby Doc Duvalier's dictatorship, one of the Caribbean's bloodiest regimes, secretly allied through the dictator's brother-in-law with Colombian capo Pablo Escobar, honcho of the Medellín Cartel. The second one; an exhaustive investigation of Panamanian dictator Manuel Antonio Noriega's drug traffic links, in which his personal pilot was the bait. The outcome of both stories, told for the first time in this book, will surprise the reader and add elements heretofore unknown about the convoluted saga of the U.S. relations with Latin America in the 80s.
