The Murder of Olof Palme: A Tale of Assassination, Deception and Intrigue (Scandinavian Studies) - Hardcover
The murder of the Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme in 1986 remains unsolved to this day, with accusations ranging from the involvement of a petty criminal to the action being carried out by the Kurdistan Worker's Party or defenders of South African Apartheid. Cooper and Redlinger (both of the U. of Texas at Dallas) investigate the assassination, dismissing many explanations as deliberate attempts to obscure the matter. They don't propose a solution to the crime, but do point to some new leads. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Review:
"H.H.A. Cooper and Lawrence J. Redlinger, experts on assassination, intelligence, and terrorism, previously collaborated to write Catching Spies: Principles and Practices of Counterespionage. In this new book, they build on their experience to provide readers with a masterful discussion of the mystery of who killed Olof Palme. They investigate why the case is still unsolved, debunk old myths, and suggest new leads. Undoubtedly, this work will spark more investigation into a classic case of assassination." - Dr. Jennifer S. Holmes"
