Alice C. (flicka) reviewed Fascinating thriller on 8/21/2008 + 2 more book reviews

This book is a very well-written, gripping account of not only the hunt for the "world's greatest outlaw" but also of the horrifying climate in Columbia created by the drug trade.

It would be a great read for those who like thrillers, mysteries, action novels and even history buffs, as the author sets up the book nicely with a succinct history of the troubled South American nation.

This book also offers a fascinating window into the U.S. agencies involved in international policing, and details the paradigm shift initiated by the Bush administration toward engaging the U.S. military in its first battle in a drug war.
