Aviation history
This is the second copy I ordered of this for a friend to read who was interested in security issues and this type of history.
I found this bio/crime story riveting...Field takes you right to the time and you feel like you are there witnessing all of this...part I found interesting was how investigators had to figure out how to put the plane back together to determine why it crashed...they had not done this before when a bomb was suspected as this was the 1st commercial airliner to be destroyed by same. Found by "accident" when I googled the name Charles Vigil, one of the defense attorneys, because he was a close friend of my fathers who attend U of C in Boulder in the 1930s. Dad wanted to know what happened to him. The author at the end added an appendix as to what happened to the major characters in this "real" story, which helped with closure as you feel you know them all personally by the end of the book.
