>> The other side of the story
Ok so herre we go so i havnt read this book but i did see that Matthew F Borwn said that this book bashes Mr Pablo Well this is crude I believe that if your going to tell a part of the story dont be that much of a retard to tell the other part of the story IF your gonna meantion the bad parts of his life mention the good things he did Pablo was not all a bad guy so what he sold drugs and murdered people he also did it in a perfective manor he was smart enough to cover his own ass until the end his i mean he used his brother as his own acountant come on thats genius use your own family so you know you can trust em and his brother owned ran and had in his own possesion a bicycle shop COVER UP but all in all pablo was a good man who covered his ass in the bad things he did i mean hitler was a bad dude did alot of bad things but he was a hell of a leader so again if your gonna tell a story about someones life hit both sides not just one angle
>> READ THE ACCOUNTANTS STORY
Ok I havent read this book YET but I surmise from the reviews and whatnot it bashes Pablo Please read The Accountants Story it tells the whole story straight from Roberto Escobar Pablo s brother and accountant who was with Pablo through it all Pablo killed to protect himself and his family He knew what he was doing was wrong so he had a plan to get out Become the president of Columbia Had he been granted that opportunity we would know him not for the alleged murders but for his constant good deeds to the poor of his country which he was known for even though his money was dirty Pablo cared so much for his fellow Columbians and its a shame to hear him bashed and not credited for what he was doing good and his good intentions
>> Fascinating subject so so story telling
great book incredible subject
My only hang up is the author s story telling style Bowden does a much better job of telling a story in a logical easier to follow timeline in Blackhawk Down but in this book he jumps all over the place and doesn t do the best of jobs in keeping the reader aware of the timeline of events Bowden s fact finding in regards to covert operations is incredible he certainly has access to information that no other author has and for that alone this book is well worth a 5 star rating But the telling of the story itself in this book is much less than it could be A good example of an excellently told story with similar subject matter is the book Inside Delta Force by Eric Haney Bowden s story telling skills pale in comparison to Haney s And for that reason alone I have to give the book 3 5 stars
