???Ahora en la gran pantalla! En julio de 2006 un avi???n de la DEA sac??? a Virginia Vallejo de Colombia. Su vida estaba en peligro por haberse convertido en el testigo clave de los dos procesos criminales m???s importantes de la segunda mitad del siglo XX en su pa???s: el asesinato de un candidato presidencial y el holocausto del Palacio de Justicia. Veinticinco a???os antes, Virginia Vallejo era la presentadora de televisi???n m???s importante de Colombia y la belleza profesional que aparec???a en las portadas de las principales revistas. Cortejada por multimillonarios tradicionales, conoci??? en 1982 a Pablo Escobar, un misterioso pol???tico de treinta y tres a???os que en realidad manejaba los hilos de un mundo de riqueza inigualable en el que gran parte del incesante flujo de dinero procedente del tr???fico de coca???na se canalizaba a proyectos de caridad y a las campa???as de candidatos presidenciales de su elecci???n. Este libro, una apasionada historia de amor convertida en cr???nica del horror y la verg???enza, describe la evoluci???n de una de las mentes criminales m???s siniestras de nuestro tiempo: su capacidad de infundir terror y generar corrupci???n, los v???nculos entre sus negocios il???citos y varios jefes de estado, los asesinatos de candidatos presidenciales y la guerra en que sumi??? a su pa???s. Amando a Pablo, odiando a Escobar es tambi???n la ???nica visi???n ???ntima posible del legendario bar???n del narcotr???fico, plena de glamour y esp???ritu de supervivencia y no exenta de humor. Virginia Vallejo narra esta historia descarnada como nadie m???s podr???a haberlo hecho. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Now a major motion picture! Pablo Escobar was one of the most terrifying criminal minds of the last century. In the decade before his death in 1993, he reigned as the head of a multinational cocaine industry and brought the Colombian state to its knees, killing thousands of politicians, media personalities, police, and unarmed citizens. In the 1980s, Virginia Vallejo was Colombia's most famous television celebrity: a top-rated anchorwoman and a twice-divorced socialite who had been courted by the country's four wealthiest men. In 1982, she interviewed Pablo Escobar on her news program, and soon after, they began a discreet--albeit stormy--romantic relationship. During their five-year affair, Escobar would show Vallejo the vulnerability of presidents, senators, and military leaders seeking to profit from the drug trade. From Vallejo's privileged perspective and her ability to navigate the global corridors of wealth and high society, Escobar gained the insight to master his manipulation ofColombia's powerful elite and media. Loving Pablo, Hating Escobar chronicles the birth of Colombia's drug cartels: the kidnappers, the guerilla groups, and the paramilitary organizations. It is, above everything, a great love story--a deep and painful journeythrough a forbidden relationship--that gives us an intimate vision of thelegendary drug baron who left his mark on Colombia, Latin America, the United States, and the world forever.
