Killing Maradona

Sobre el libro Killing Maradona de David Arrowsmith publicado por Octopus Publishing al 2026:

Drugs, cartels, mafia, addiction, the FBI, and coercion - this is the untold story behind the tragic decline of footballs most gifted and controversial legend. Maradona was footballs ultimate genius - a magician on the pitch whose talent rivalled only Pelé. But off the field, the boy from the barrios of Buenos Aires became entangled in a dark web of criminal influence and personal demons. From the Cali Cartels attempts to lure him into the drug trade, to the Camorras grip on his life in Naples from clashes with the Italian government to Pablo Escobars sinister hospitality, Maradonas life was a battleground far beyond football. Battling addiction, betrayal, and exploitation, Maradonas story is one of genius corrupted - a man caught between adulation and self-destruction, whose medical neglect and FBI scrutiny culminated in a tragic end. Marking the th anniversary of Argentinas legendary World Cup victory, Killing Maradona is a searing investigation into the forces that destroyed footballs first Golden Boy.
