    Cocaina: A Book on Those Who Make It , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 543min
    When Colombia's 'King of Cocaine', Pablo Escobar, was killed, the world thought the cocaine industry would crumble. But ten years later the country's production had almost quadrupled, and for the last decade Colombia has produced more than 60 percent of all the cocaine consumed in the world. The drug is both a curse and a salvation for Colombians. Farmers grow coca for cash but fear discovery. Families must co-operate with drug-funded guerrillas or go on the run. Destitute teens become trained killers for a quick buck, in a ruthless underworld where few survive for long. At the same time, tension grows between Colombia's right-wing government and its socialist neighbours in Latin America. With the failed US war on drugs playing into this geopolitical brew, the future of cocaine is about more than what happens to street dealers and their customers. Based on three years of research, and more than 100 interviews with growers, traffickers, assassins, refugees, police, politicians, and drug tourists, Cocaina is exceptional - a brilliant work of journalism, and an insight into one of the world's most troubling industries. Magnus Linton is a Swedish writer. He is the author of several acclaimed non-fiction books, including The Vegans, Americanos, and The Hated. Magnus lives in Stockholm and Bogota with his family. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Damian Lynch. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/020807/bk_adbl_020807_sample.mp3.

    Pablo Escobar: Good or Evil: Learn the Real History Behind the World's Most Infamous Drug Lord , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 78min
    Discover the exciting world of Colombia's infamous drug lord, Pablo Escobar. Does being involved with hardened criminals, and even committing murder, automatically make you a horrible person? Picture this.... You grow up in a house with six other siblings, an absent father, and a hardworking but always struggling mother. You get sent home from school because your shoes are broken and don't have enough money to get more. This is just a common day for you. You are used to being poor and watching your mother and siblings suffer and struggle. Or perhaps.... You grow up on dangerous streets, surrounded by poverty and violence during a difficult political era. You find yourself thrust into an environment you didn't choose to be in, and the country appears to be at war with itself. You soon make the connection between poverty and misery, and vow to get yourself out of that dire situation. These questions and countless others will all make more sense when you discover the story of one of Colombia's historical figures, in Pablo Escobar: Good or Evil. Can violence and crime ever be justified? Is there ever a good reason to commit those acts that have been called unacceptable by the law? What if it's to help those around you and lift yourself out of a dire situation? In this book, you will see that sometimes questions like this aren't so simple to answer. ungekürzt.

    There Are No Dead Here , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 726min
    The bloody story of the rise of paramilitaries in Colombia, told through three characters - a fearless activist, a dogged journalist, and a relentless investigator - whose lives intersected in the midst of unspeakable terror. Colombia's drug-fueled cycle of terror, corruption, and tragedy did not end with Pablo Escobar's death in 1993. Just when Colombians were ready to move past the murderous legacy of the country's cartels, a new, bloody chapter unfolded. In the late 1990s, right-wing paramilitary groups with close ties to the cocaine business carried out a violent expansion campaign, massacring, raping, and torturing thousands. There Are No Dead Here is the harrowing story of three ordinary Colombians who risked everything to reveal the collusion between the new mafia and much of the country's military and political establishment: Jesús María Valle, a human rights activist who was murdered for exposing a dark secret; Iván Velásquez, a quiet prosecutor who took up Valle's cause and became an unlikely hero; and Ricardo Calderón, a dogged journalist who is still being targeted for his revelations. Their groundbreaking investigations landed a third of the country's Congress in prison and fed new demands for justice and peace that Colombia's leaders could not ignore. Taking readers from the sweltering Medellín streets where criminal investigators were hunted by assassins, through the countryside where paramilitaries wiped out entire towns, and into the corridors of the presidential palace in Bogotá, There Are No Dead Here is an unforgettable portrait of the valiant men and women who dared to stand up to the tide of greed, rage, and bloodlust that threatened to engulf their country. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sylvia Gonzalez.

    Loving Pablo, Hating Escobar
    Now a major motion picture! Pablo Escobar was one of the most terrifying criminal minds of the last century. In the decade before his death in 1993, he reigned as the head of a multinational cocaine industry and brought the Colombian state to its knees, killing thousands of politicians, media personalities, police, and unarmed citizens. In the 1980s, Virginia Vallejo was Colombia's most famous television celebrity: a top-rated anchorwoman and a twice-divorced socialite who had been courted by the country's four wealthiest men. In 1982, she interviewed Pablo Escobar on her news program, and soon after, they began a discreet-albeit stormy-romantic relationship. During their five-year affair, Escobar would show Vallejo the vulnerability of presidents, senators, and military leaders seeking to profit from the drug trade. From Vallejo's privileged perspective and her ability to navigate the global corridors of wealth and high society, Escobar gained the insight to master his manipulation ofColombia's powerful elite and media. Loving Pablo, Hating Escobar chronicles the birth of Colombia's drug cartels: the kidnappers, the guerilla groups, and the paramilitary organizations. It is, above everything, a great love story-a deep and painful journeythrough a forbidden relationship-that gives us an intimate vision of thelegendary drug baron who left his mark on Colombia, Latin America, the United States, and the world forever.
