In comparison with the barons of the Medellin cartel, the heads of the Sicilian mafia look like naughty boys. Colombian drug traffickers use violence, murder and terrorism in a radical, systematic, planned way. They waged full-scale war on the Colombian state.

An account of the many tragedies and great chaos that these men have caused in Colombia and the whole of Central America.
