Summary of Shaun Attwood's Pablo Escobar

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Pablo Escobar was born in 1949, the second year of The Violence, a civil war that saw millions of Colombians flee their homes and hundreds of thousands die. Pablo’s parents were Abel de Jesús Dari Escobar, a hard-working peasant farmer, and Hermilda Gaviria, an elementary-school teacher.

#2 Pablo grew up in Medellín, Colombia, with six siblings. He and his brother Roberto were close, and he enjoyed watching Roberto construct things such as radios. Pablo was sent to live with his grandmother in the safety of Medellín, and he fell in love with the city.

#3 Pablo was elected president of his school’s Council for Student Wellness, which demanded transportation and food for indigent students. He learned about the US meddling in South America for its own advantage, which often increased the suffering of the most poverty-stricken people. He developed an interest in history, world politics, and poetry.

#4 Pablo was a criminal who rose above his peers by being extremely intelligent and street smart. He was able to outsmart and outmaneuver those who sought his advice, and he earned their respect by remaining calm and cheerful in dangerous situations.
