Blow

"Blow" narrates the astonishing journey of George Jung, who transitions from a promising high school football player to a key figure in Pablo Escobar's Medellín cartel, which dominated the U.S. cocaine trade in the 1980s. Partnering with Colombian criminal Carlos Lehder, Jung revolutionizes the cocaine market, turning a niche drug into a massive enterprise. However, his ascent hits a critical turning point when DEA agents catch him with a substantial cocaine shipment, prompting him to devise a plan that could expose major cartel figures. Using firsthand accounts, Bruce Porter offers a gripping exploration of Jung's rise and eventual fall in the high-stakes world of drug trafficking.
