1.Killing Pablo: The Hunt for the World s Greatest OutlawKilling Pablo: The Hunt for the World's Greatest Outlaw
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:
Once I begin a book I usually finish it, even if it's not that good.
But I couldn't finish this book. I read about one third and then quit. It was so boring. It was more about politics than drugs. I guess I was expecting something along the lines of Doctor Dealer (a great read!).

from University Of Chicago Press

Customer Review:
Michael Taussig takes a stance towards "terrorism" not common in today's world. By trying to trace the roots of this phenomenon, he brings to light many explanations and understandings many of us fail to realize, only because we have not come across them before.

This is a very poorly written account of a topic so crucial for the history and the future of Colombia.

First, let me state that I totally disagree with the previous bad review of this book. The book is not hard to read by any means, but to fully understand and comprehend this book you need a solid background in Marxist theory. I found the book to be very enjoyable and enlightening. The first half the... more info
