"A stunningwork of non-fiction ... Meticulous and vividly rendered." Daily Telegraph"A superbsummation of all the evidence." Sunday Times"It may makeuncomfortable reading for certain politicians and members of the intelligencecommunity, but it is likely to persuade many that there was far more to thedeath of David Kelly than has been revealed." Evening Standard"Norman Bakeris an honest politician of unusual integrity. He asks difficult and problematicquestions that seem not to have occurred to Lord Hutton. His research is verydetailed and his conclusions must be taken seriously." Peter Oborne
