Pablo Escobar: My Father by Juan Pablo Escobar For years, the story of Pablo Escobar has been told only from the outside. In this book, his son shares a rare, intimate look at the man behind the legend. More than twenty years after Escobar’s death, Juan Pablo revisits his past to reveal a father who could show extreme brutality while also showing deep love for his family. This is not an attempt to excuse his crimes, but an honest account of the destructive impact of violence and the author’s own search for peace and forgiveness.
