This is the first Kindle publication of this historic non-fiction work, first published in Great Britain in 1993, that provides the definitive insider expose of how the intelligence and narcotics enforcement agencies of the U.S. government effectively facilitated and definitively concealed their roles in the terrorist bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, on December 21, 1988. Author Lester Knox Coleman is the first American citizen since the Vietnam war to seek political asylum in another country (Sweden). In the spring of 1988 Coleman was on a mission for the world's most secretive and well-funded espionage organization -- The Defense Intelligence Agency. Coleman had been ordered to spy on the DEA in Cyprus which, along with the CIA, was running a series of 'controlled deliveries' of Lebanese heroin through the airports of Frankfurt and London en route to America. Coleman discovered that the security of this 'sting' operation had been breached and warned the American embassy that a disaster was waiting to happen. He was ignored. Seven months later, Pan Am Flight 103 exploded over Lockerbie. Among the dead was a DEA courier. Hounded by the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and Middle East heroin traffickers, Coleman was a victim of an immense international cover-up. Coleman's co-author, the late Donald Goddard, was for eight years an editor at the New York Times; he also authored numerous critically acclaimed bestsellers, including Joey, The Last Days of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, All Fall Down, Undercover and The Insider.
