LONGLISTED FOR THE ALCS GOLD DAGGER FOR NON-FICTION 'One of the
mysteries I've long been fascinated by, and I am so grateful that
Ravi Somaiya has cracked it open so brilliantly' David Grann,
author of Killers of the Flower Moon A PLANE CRASH IN THE JUNGLE. A
LEGENDARY STATESMAN DEAD. A TRAGIC ACCIDENT... OR THE ULTIMATE
CONSPIRACY? In 1961, a Douglas DC-6B aeroplane transporting the
Secretary-General of the United Nations, Dag Hammarskjoeld,
disappeared over the Congolese jungle at the height of the Cold
War. Soon afterward, Hammarskjoeld was discovered in the smoking
wreckage, an Ace of Spades playing card placed on his body. He had
been heralded as the Congo's best hope for peace and independence.
Now he was dead. The circumstances of that night have remained one
of the Cold War's most tightly guarded secrets for decades. Now,
with exclusive evidence, investigative journalist Ravi Somaiya
finally uncovers the truth, with dark implications for governments
and corporations alike.
