Description
Loving Pablo, Hating Escobar: The Shocking True Story of the Notorious Drug Lord from the Woman Who Knew Him Best by Virginia Vallejo. In this explosive tale, journalist and socialite Virginia Vallejo recounts her tumultuous five-year romance with Pablo Escobar, the infamous head of the Medellin cartel. As their relationship unfolded, Vallejo witnessed firsthand the bloodshed, fear, and corruption that accompanied Escobar's rise to power. Vallejo's account provides a unique insight into the life of one of history's most notorious criminals, tracing his evolution from billionaire benefactor to ruthless terrorist responsible for some of the most tragic events in Colombian history. Her testimony would ultimately lead to her fleeing Colombia and forcing her to abandon her career, but it also played a crucial role in reopening one of the country's most important criminal cases. This book offers a gripping and unflinching look at the cocaine industry's birth and boom, and the devastating consequences that followed Escobar's reign.
