In less than a decade the cartel has come to control more than half of the world's cocaine supply, from coca farmers in Bolivia and Peru to giant jungle laboratories, fleets of aircraft and boats, assassins on motorcycles wielding MAC~1O machine pistols, and a vast web of distributors stretching into every major American city. The most complete and revealing account of the cartel ever published, Kings of Cocaine chronicles the evolution of a small group of young Medellin street thugs into a mammoth multinational network that has saturated the United States with cocaine, rocked Colombia's government, and sown corruption throughout Latin America. Based on firsthand reporting inside Colombia and sources within the cartel itself, Kings of Cocaine recounts in riveting detail the escalating violence as the cartel moved to eliminate its enemies, including Colombia's justice minister, antidrug police commander, and a dozen Supreme Court justices, as well as the freewheeling Barry Seal, the most important informant in the history of the U. S. Drug Enforcement Administration. Kings of Cocaine also profiles the DEA agents and Colombian police who, with extraordinary courage, battle the cartel in a continuing war of move and counterrnove, Kings of Cocaine is based on a series of articles that ran in the The Miami Herald in 1987, plus additional reporting by the authors. The original series was simultaneously reprinted by more than two dozen newspapers in Colombia as a gesture of unprecedented solidarity against the violence of the drug traffickers. The series went on to win the Sigma Delta Chi Distinguished Service Award for Foreign Correspondence and an Investigative Reporters and Editors Award for outstanding investigative reporting.
