On 21 December 1988, Pan Am flight 103 departed London Heathrow for
New York. Shortly after take-off, a bomb detonated, killing all
aboard and devastating the small Scottish town of Lockerbie below.
Only one man has ever been convicted of the crime: Abdelbaset
al-Megrahi, though few believe that he acted alone.In 2009, a
request was made by Libya for al-Megrahi's release from prison on
compassionate grounds after he had been diagnosed with terminal
cancer. The decision to grant or deny that request fell squarely
and exclusively on the shoulders of one man: Kenny MacAskill,
Scotland's Justice Secretary from 2007 to 2014.Detailing the
build-up to the atrocity and the carnage left in its wake,
MacAskill narrates the international investigation that followed
and the diplomatic intrigue that saw a Scottish court convened in
the Netherlands. He describes the controversial release of
al-Megrahi, explains the international dimensions involved and lays
bare the commercial and security interests that ran in the
background throughout the investigation and trial. Finally, he
answers how and why it happened - and who was really responsible
for the worst terrorist attack to have occurred on British soil
before or since.
