The Forgotten Flight Remembered: The Story of UTA Flight 772

Описание: It has been called the greatest murder investigation in French history. When a suitcase bomb destroyed French Airlines UTA Flight 772, killing all 170 passengers and crew on board, it triggered a decades long search for accountability… a story that has previously been largely untold. But in his new book, “The Forgotten Flight,” author Stuart Newberger remembers one of the deadliest terrorist attacks in history from his unique vantage point as the attorney who represented the families of the seven Americans killed. The story of an epic pursuit of justice across international borders provides the focus for this edition of Wilson Center NOW.
