Publisher's summary

The Cali Cartel was the most powerful drug organization that Colombia has ever seen. It financed the hunt for Pablo Escobar and controlled the majority of the global cocaine trade. The two main capos, Gilberto and his brother, Miguel, ran a multibillion dollar drug empire like a corporation. They bribed dozens of judges, politicians, military, police officers—and even presidents.

This is Miguel’s son’s jaw-dropping autobiography.

It starts with one of the biggest assassination attempts in Cali’s history. Dressed as cops, six men carrying guns with silencers opened fire on Miguel’s son, William, in a restaurant. Surrounded by his dead friends, William, seriously injured, was extracted and carried unconscious to a hospital.

William reveals the role of the Cali Cartel in wiping out its main rivals in the Medellín Cartel: Pablo Escobar and Gacha aka The Mexican.

Find out how William ran the cartel while his father was incarcerated and what he had to do to save his family from ever increasing threats and danger.

Interesting insight from the adult child of Miguel

Very interesting perspective from the adult child of Miguel Rodriguez. He tells the story of the Cali cartel not from a perspective of glamour but from a belief that drug trafficking turned out to be a curse to everyone in the family upto and including to present day. Highly recommend.

Love hearing stories about true crime

Awesome story from someone that actually lived it. I’ve always had a fascination with true crime and Columbia and the cartels intrigues me the most. Thanks for the read!

Narrator

Narrator's monotone voice and butchering every Mexican/ Spanish name was bad. Hard to follow.
