I reccommend Just and Unjust Wars by Michael Walzer. Used in one of my college classes. Very readable.

Recently did this one on audiobook as well (it was a long road trip, LOL). I'm sure some on this site could speak better to the veracity of Bowden's account, but from my uninitiated perspective it was a good story which raises many interesting questions about what the government is morally justified in doing when the rule of law deteriorates beyond a certain point. I thought it was worthwhile and interesting.

I liked it, but I didn't get much philosophy or anything out of it. I just thought it was a good tale of what Pablo Escobar was all about and how he was taken down. I don't know whether the book is accurate, but I liked it. My wife liked it too.
