A Can of Man
Je suis aware
I picked up a copy of this book at Dulles on a flight to Europe to pass some time on the plane. I had no idea I was about to pick up one of the best non-fiction stories I've ever read.
This is the story of the killing of Pablo Escobar, once the biggest drug baron in the world. It covers his life, his family, his business and his demise. Author Mark Bowden is best known for his work Black Hawk Down, but book for book, I found Killing Pablo to be more interesting.
Another interesting thing you can learn from this book is how things are in many 3rd world countries. The business aspect of this book can be applied to many other countries... including Indonesia which I can tell you from experience. You'll learn what kind of a crazy place the world is. And the book also contains tragic heroes.
Seriously if you're looking for a non-fiction book to entertain, or perhaps even do a school report on, I recommend this book.
