Acerca de esta escucha

For the first time, legendary DEA operatives Steve Murphy and Javier F. Peña tell the true story of how they helped put an end to one of the world’s most infamous narco-terrorists in Manhunters: How We Took Down Pablo Escobar - the subject of the hit Netflix series, Narcos.

Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar’s brutal Medellín Cartel was responsible for trafficking tons of cocaine to North America and Europe in the 1980s and ’90s. The nation became a warzone as his sicarios mercilessly murdered thousands of people - competitors, police, and civilians - to ensure he remained Colombia’s reigning kingpin. With billions in personal income, Pablo Escobar bought off politicians and lawmen, and became a hero to poorer communities by building houses and sports centers. He was nearly untouchable despite the efforts of the Colombian National Police to bring him to justice.

But Escobar was also one of America’s most wanted, and the Drug Enforcement Administration was determined to see him pay for his crimes. Agents Steve Murphy and Javier F. Peña were assigned to the Bloque de Búsqueda, the joint Colombian-US taskforce created to end Escobar’s reign of terror. For 18 months, between July 1992 and December 1993, Steve and Javier lived and worked beside Colombian authorities, finding themselves in the crosshairs of sicarios targeting them for the $300,000 bounty Escobar placed on each of their heads.

Undeterred, they risked the dangers, relentlessly and ruthlessly separating the drug lord from his resources and allies, and tearing apart his empire, leaving him underground and on the run from enemies on both sides of the law.

Manhunters presents Steve and Javier’s history in law enforcement from their rigorous physical training and their early DEA assignments in Miami and Austin to the Escobar mission in Medellin, Colombia - living far from home and serving as frontline soldiers in the never ending war on drugs that continues to devastate America.

Praise for Manhunters:

"Steve and Javier's experience on the front lines of the war on drugs over the last 30 years made them an invaluable source of information for us. Their contacts, both foreign and domestic, allowed us to put together a narrative of one of the most complex, poorly reported, and misunderstood chapters in our recent past." (Eric Newman, executive producer, Narcos)

"Manhunters is a riveting account of two brave DEA agents who put their lives, along with their families lives, on the line to fight the war on drugs in the US and Colombia. A must read on the take down of Pablo Escobar and the part they played in the investigation." (Joe Pistone, former FBI special agent, a.k.a. Donnie Brasco, New York Times best-selling author)

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A gripping insider account of the hunt for Pablo Escobar. Brilliant, bold, and no holds barred, this is an impeccable true crime story, told by the two brave men who risked everything to bring down the world’s first narco-terrorist. A five-star read!" (Brad Thor, number-one New York Times best-selling author of Spymaster)

"Manhunters is a gripping story about two true patriots who were the difference makers in the final hunt for Pablo Escobar. They are heroes to a world that was otherwise held captive by the evil of the planet’s first narco-terrorist. Their bravery is unparalleled, and we owe them a great deal of gratitude for their selfless sacrifices. It is an honor to know them and their story." (Robert Mazur, New York Times best-selling author of The Infiltrator)

"Riveting. A must-read for anyone interested in one of the major campaigns on the war on drugs." (Publishers Weekly)

Please don’t listen to the people complaining about the narration. I thought it was as excellent as the book itself. Can’t praise both of them enough.

A wonderful first-hand history

Downloaded this book and finished it in less than 2 days! I like how we get the back stories of the agents and the info really is along the lines of Narcos on Netflix!

Fantastic

it's basically the REAL story of the TV series Narcos but they cover the realities that the show overlooked. Buy it, listen to it and realize that there are still heroes staring down death in every corner of the globe.

Real, gritty and honest

I first saw the show Narcos and loved, the story kept me pulled in until the very end and even afterwards. when I saw that there was a book and found it on audible. I had to get it, the fact it was read by the DEA agents themselves just made it better. It was interesting to figure out what the show dramatized and matched.

I'll definitely be going back to listen to this again!

Gripping story
