PABLO ESCOBAR - BEYOND NARCOS - by Shaun Attwood.
With all the fuss surrounding the Netflix series it might be wise to get another view. Not that I don't trust the CIA / DEA or the United States in general to give an accurate account of what really happened....
Who better than Shaun Attwood to offer up such a view.
You can google him or i've put something below from Amazon. .."about the author" but it seems like a good description to me.
The only thing I will add, is that I heard him on radio London this eve and I love what he's doing to help the children who might not be listning to parents or teachers about drugs.
Also he seems... a bit of a lad... (and the winner of the 2016 Phacemag understatement is....)
We like him 😊

ABOUT THE AUTHOR - Amazon.
"Shaun Attwood is a former stock-market millionaire and Ecstasy supplier turned public speaker, author and activist, who is banned from America for life. His story was featured worldwide on National Geographic Channel as an episode of Locked Up/Banged Up Abroad called Raving Arizona (available on YouTube). Shaun’s writing – smuggled out of the jail with the highest death rate in America run by Sheriff Joe Arpaio – attracted international media attention to the human rights violations: murders by guards and gang members, dead rats in the food, cockroach infestations… While incarcerated, Shaun was forced to reappraise his life. He read over 1,000 books in just under six years. By studying original texts in psychology and philosophy, he sought to better understand himself and his past behaviour. He credits books as being the lifeblood of his rehabilitation. Shaun now tells his story to schools to put young people off drugs and crime. He campaigns against injustice via his books and blog, Jon’s Jail Journal. He has appeared on the BBC, Sky News and TV worldwide to talk about issues affecting prisoners’ rights."
