Summary: A Stew of Genius
Comment: This book has a method in which to induce the reader to keep reading, especially if that reader happens to already be intrigued by planes.
In this vivid account Pat Milton takes the reader inside the lives and homes of the victims' family and as close as possible to the reason of the crash.
Like the sinking of the Titanic, the crash of TWA Flight 800 just off Long Island, New York, in the early evening of July 17, 1996, captured the world's imagination. Associated Press reporter Pat Milton has covered the story from day one and was granted unprecedented access to the FBI investigation--the largest and most complex in the agency's history.
Initially suspecting that a crime had been committed, James Kallstrom, the head of the FBI's New York office, led the two-year investigation from the start.

Summary: TWA 800: The Infinite Depths of Sorrow and Tragedy
Comment: This book makes the novice reader realize the incomprehensible reaches of sorry and tragedy that must be dealt with head-on after such a tragedy. While providing insight to the technological aspects of the investigation, it allows the reader to experience the much greater, tangible emotional and personal devastating loss of feeling of not being in control after the loss of a loved one. The book is an excellent mix of raw fact and human emotion, hopefully in some way contributing to the immortality of the lives of those who died in this terrible crash. It reveals the frustrations, determination, and hopelessness of investigators as well, and brings some reassurance that the agencies involved, particularly the FBI, did all that was humanly possible to get to the truth of this tragedy.
Highly recommended. The only criticism of the book is a tendency to repeat facts and scenarios, but this is only a minor nuisance. Overall, very well written and a gut-wrenching account of the crash of TWA Flight 800.
Rating: 4
Summary: Positive view of the FBI.
Comment: Although this book was a bit slow and dry it gives an understanding view of the FBI. All too often books put the FBI down. It had a lot of technical information. I am glad I read it.
