'A FASCINATING STORY OF HOW ANTI-DRUG FORCES FINALLY BROUGHT DOWN THE WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL DRUG MAFIA'
Gerald Posner, Author, Case Closed: Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination of John F Kennedy

Drug Lords the spectacular rise and fall of Cali cartel, the richest drug trafficking gang the world has ever seen. Based in the Columbian city of Cali, it flooded the United States and Europe with cocaine. made tens of billions in illicit profits, and waged a bloody war with Pablo Escobar's Medellin cartel, leaving hundreds dead or maimed. Led by four men- brilliant strategist Gilberto Rodriguez, his hands-on brother Miguel, the tough vicious Jose Santacruz and the cool, dapper Pacho Herrera - the cartel seized control of the coke trade in New York in the 1970's and used it to springboard to near global domination. Operating like a multinational corporation, it brought a degree of organization to the drugs trade, and remained virtually untouchable for 20 years.

In a tale more shocking than any thriller author Ron Chepesiuk reveals  how the gang built an army of dealers, smugglers, money launderers, lawyers and assassins, and how it corrupted politicians, cops and judges. Eventually, however, its godfathers became the prime target for the U.S.-led War on Drugs, and were cut down or captured one by one. Today the cartel lies shattered, and the full account of 'the biggest single dealer of drugs in the world' can finally be told.
