Description

Alan Gerson & Jerry Adler. A gripping account of the first international mass terrorist attack on American citizens -- the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland -- & its aftermath. The bomb, planted aboard the plane by Libyan agents, killed 259 people in the air & 11 on the ground. The heroes & the victims’ families used the law to fight back, & their experiences hold an important example for us in how law & reason can triumph over terror, & how unwavering resolve can lead to justice. Working virtually alone at first, Allan Gerson took on the case & spent the next 8 years on the families’ quest for justice. In this high-stakes game of international power politics & legal maneuvering, a precious principle -- that of accountability under the law -- was strengthened & preserved.
