My father Pablo Escobar. The rise and fall of the Colombian drug lord through the eyes of his son

Before you is the most complete and truthful story about the life of the Colombian drug lord. Pablo Escobar is a Colombian drug lord and terrorist. Escobar is called the "King of Cocaine" because he was the leader of the Medellín cartel, which controlled 80% of the world cocaine market by the end of 1980. To this day, he remains one of the most famous, brutal, and wealthy criminals in history. Much has been said about the rise and fall of Pablo Escobar, the most notorious drug trafficker of all time. However, all of this was told by outsiders who did not know him closely enough. Finally, his elder son, Juan Pablo Escobar, broke the silence. More than two decades after the hunt for the cocaine king successfully concluded, Pablo Escobar's son went back in time and revealed the whole truth about his father. With a variety of memories, Juan Pablo Escobar tells us what his father was really like: unimaginably brutal and frightening, yet endlessly loving to his family. This is not a story from a child, a little boy desperately seeking redemption for his father, but a shocking look at the consequences of endless violence, mixed with an infinite need for forgiveness and peace. "Pablo Escobar is a criminal, drug lord, and terrorist. But he is also a father and husband, and therefore the story told through the mouth of his son shocks and captivates at the same time. This is not the perspective of a child wanting to justify his father, but a revelation about violence, the need for peace, and redemption." — Maria Sopkina and Daria Saburova, creators of the podcast "Here’s the thing"
