The Accountant's Story

What an interesting book! The Accountant's Story is written by Roberto Escobar with help from David Fisher. As one might guess by the names, it's a first-hand telling of the life of Pablo Escobar, the Colombian legend who ran the largest cocaine cartel in the 1980s.

As Pablo's accountant and brother, Roberto Escobar gives insight on who this man was who became the world's most wanted. One reads about their childhood dreams, the corruption everyone dealt with, how violence was introduced in their world, how they escaped death on so many occasions.

The book is well-written and compelling. I give it a 4
