Description

Charlie Wilson's life took a dramatic turn from being a leader of the Great Train Robbery gang to becoming a key figure in a multi-billion dollar cocaine network, partnering with Pablo Escobar to make cocaine the Western world's number one recreational drug. This is the untold story of Wilson's cocaine empire and his forays into the deadly world of South American crime.

Through meticulous research and interviews with those who knew him, Wensley Clarkson reveals the bullet-riddled history of Wilson's partnership with Escobar, and the tragic circumstances behind their deaths. This is a gripping tale of crime, corruption, and the enduring legacy of the underworld's original narco.
