Killing Pablo book cover

Killing Pablo: The Hunt for the World's Greatest Outlaw (2001) is a book by Mark Bowden[1][2] that details the efforts by the governments of the United States and Colombia, their respective military and intelligence forces, and Los Pepes (controlled by the Cali cartel) to stop illegal activities committed by Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar and his subordinates. It relates how Escobar was killed and his cartel dismantled. Bowden originally reported this story in a 31-part series published in The Philadelphia Inquirer[3] and in a companion documentary of the same title.
