Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. En las décadas que pasaron en la DEA, Javier Peña y Steve Murphy se dedicaron a la caza y captura de narcotraficantes, pero sin duda su mayor desafío fue Pablo Escobar, el cerebro del cartel de Medellín y responsable del tráfico de toneladas de cocaína a Estados Unidos y a Europa en las décadas de 1980 y 1990, así como de miles de asesinatos de competidores, policías y civiles para asegurarse el trono en el mundo de la droga. Entre julio de 1992 y diciembre de 1993 Steve y Javier, tras un riguroso entrenamiento físico y unas misiones tempranas en Miami y Austin, se instalaron en Medellín, donde vivieron y trabajaron con las autoridades colombianas con el objetivo común de capturar a un hombre que hasta entonces muchos consideraban intocable; un héroe para las comunidades más pobres, para las que mandó construir viviendas y centros deportivos. Su experiencia en primera persona, las historias de los archivos desclasificados de la DEA, los desafíos a los que se enfrentaron y las estrategias innovadoras que emplearon para terminar con el reino del terror componen un relato épico de cómo dos agentes estadounidenses arriesgaron sus vidas en territorio de sicarios para destruir el imperio de Escobar y atrapar al narcotraficante más buscado del mundo. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Murphy (born 1957) is an American retired federal agent of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) who, along with Javier Peña, was one of the lead investigators in the manhunt of Colombian drug lord and leader of the Medellín Cartel, Pablo Escobar. He joined the DEA in 1987 and started working in Miami before being transferred to Bogotá, Colombia. He was first on the scene with a working camera when Pablo Escobar was shot dead on a Medellín roof. Javier F. Peña (born 1958) is an American retired Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agent who investigated Pablo Escobar and the Medellín Cartel with his former colleague Stephen Murphy and the Colombia National Police. Peña worked as a consultant on the Netflix series Narcos. Following the investigation of the Medellín Cartel, Peña worked for the DEA with additional assignments in Puerto Rico, Texas and Colombia. Peña was promoted to Special Agent in Charge of the San Francisco DEA Office in 2004, then the Caribbean DEA Office in 2008 and finally to the Houston DEA Office in 2011 before retiring in 2014. Peña attended Texas A&I University (now Texas A&M University-Kingsville) where he studied sociology and psychology. Peña served as a Deputy Sheriff for Webb County Sheriff's Office in Laredo from 1976 to 1984 and then continued his service with the DEA until his retirement in January 2014. In 2019, he published Manhunters: How We Took Down Pablo Escobar co-authored with Steve Murphy. For the first time, legendary DEA operatives Steve Murphy and Javier F. Peña tell the true story of how they helped put an end to one of the world's most infamous narco-terrorists in Manhunters: How We Took Down Pablo Escobar, the subject of the hit Netflix series, Narcos. Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar's brutal Medellín Cartel was responsible for trafficking tons of cocaine to North America and Europe in the 1980s and 90s. The nation became a warzone as his sicarios mercilessly murdered thousands of people, competitors, police, and civilians, to ensure he remained Colombia's reigning kingpin. With billions in personal income, Pablo Escobar bought off politicians and lawmen, and became a hero to poorer communities by building houses and sports centers. He was nearly untouchable despite the efforts of the Colombian National Police to bring him to justice. But Escobar was also one of America's most wanted, and the Drug Enforcement Administration was determined to see him pay for his crimes. Agents Steve Murphy and Javier F. Peña were assigned to the Bloque de Búsqueda, the joint Colombian-U.S. taskforce created to end Escobar's reign of terror. For eighteen months, between July 1992 and December 1993, Steve and Javier lived and worked beside Colombian authorities, finding themselves in the crosshairs of sicarios targeting them for the $300,000 bounty Escobar placed on each of their heads. Undeterred, they risked the dangers, relentlessly and ruthlessly separating the drug lord from his resources and allies, and tearing apart his empire, leaving him underground and on the run from enemies on both sides of the law. Manhunters presents Steve and Javier's history in law enforcement from their rigorous physical training and their early DEA assignments in Miami and Austin to the Escobar mission in Medellin, Colombia, living far from home and serving as frontline soldiers in the never ending war on drugs that continues to devastate America.
