review 1: This book tells the story of the downfall of the Cali Cartel from the perspective of an insider, Jorge Salcedo Miguel Rodríguez Orejuela’s chief of security who helped the DEA capture him. It starts with the Cali Cartels war against Pablo Escobar and the Medllin Cartel.. It move on to the Cali Cartels years as the major cocaine exporter into the US. It details the huge levels of corruption in Colombian at the hands of the drug lord and Jorge decision to turn on his boss and turn him in. Good read
review 2: Highly recommended. I am surely biased, having lived in Cali starting right about the time most of this story winds down. But Rempel is a great storyteller. I read these 325+ pages in a period of a little over 24 hours. It really gives a sense of ... morethe level of corruption in Colombia, although this is changing and this country has a great future. The other big impression I have is how this history repeats itself - the Medellin and Cali cartels, and now how drug traficking is centered in Mexico. The Cali cartel was relatively benign compared to Medellin and the Mexicans. The success of anti-narcotics authorities will be temporary, as suppression of traficking in one place only moves the activity elsewhere (note how one of the key DEA agents in this story is now the head of the Phoenix office). None of this will end until cocaine is legalized or it somehow falls out of fashion among mostly American and European consumers. less
