Reviews
This is a solidly researched account of the 1988 explosion aboard Pan Am flight 103 that killed 270 people and the investigation thereafter. Emerson, a former senior editor at U.S. News & World Report , and Duffy, currently assistant managing editor at that magazine, argue persuasively that the United States can no longer play by the old rules in combating international terrorism. They urge the United States to get involved directly in the security arrangements for airlines operating inside and outside its borders. The authors may get their wish: after Lockerbie, a Presidential Commission was established to review international airline security; its report is due to be released this month. Intended for a general reading audience, this is an important addition to all library collections.

Four days before Christmas, 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 and its 259 passengers exploded in the sky over Lockerbie, Scotland. The horrifying event became the focus of the largest international counterterrorist investigation ever launched, spanning four continents and nearly forty countries, employing more than 10,000 people, and led by the FBI, CIA, Scotland Yard, Scottish police, and West Germany's BKA. Because of their remarkable contacts within the intelligence and law enforcement communities both here and abroad, Steven Emerson and Brian Duffy gained unprecedented access to the investigators and their astonishing findings. It is through these investigators' eyes that we watch the story unfold: the FBI explosives expert who heard the news, packed his bag and headed out the door; the Scottish constable who found himself faced with the catastrophe of a lifetime; the soldiers and policemen who doggedly combed the fields day after day; the hundreds of agents who streamed over the world in their determined manhunt. We watch them as they make discoveries, hear news, piece together scraps of evidence until, bit by bit, the whole devastating picture begins to come clear. And this is what they found, and what they reveal here: not only the names of the people and organizations responsible for the bombing, and the painstaking process by which they were discovered, but the web of lies and deception that for too long kept the investigators from the truth ~ and, shockingly, might have facilitated the bombing itself. The story of the Pan Am 103 investigation is one of masterly police work and brilliant deduction undermined by a trusted ally's incompetence and cover~up; of forensics and secret sources, rival intelligence agencies and Faustian deals between governments and terrorists; of good men and their valiant efforts to bring killers to justice, and ruthless men determined to wage war against the West in its own backyard. Above all, it is the story of terrorism in the twentieth century. This is a book that will both fascinate and appall ~ an intelligence story for our times. Seller Inventory # 7182601
