This is Play That Rock'n'Roll's interview with authors Jesse Fink and Luis Navia about their book, "PURE NARCO". In this interview, we discuss how this project came to be and the research involved in a project like this. Then Luis talks about how drug smuggling actually works, and how this industry affected Latin American politics and culture during the Cold War as it does today. Plus we cover Hollywood’s portrayal of drug smuggling, and also Luis shares his insight on some notorious figures like Pablo Escobar, Manuel Noriega, and Che Guevara.
