David Grann, the acclaimed author of \"Killers of the Flower Moon,\" has expressed his admiration for Somaiya's remarkable work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1961, a Douglas DC-6B aircraft carrying the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Dag Hammarskjöld, vanished over the Congolese jungle during the height of the Cold War. Shortly after, Hammarskjöld's lifeless body was found in the smoldering wreckage, with an Ace of Spades playing card placed upon it. He had been hailed as the Congo's greatest hope for peace and independence. However, he was now deceased.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor decades, the circumstances surrounding that fateful night have remained one of the Cold War's most closely guarded secrets. However, thanks to exclusive evidence, investigative journalist Ravi Somaiya has finally uncovered the truth, with far-reaching consequences for governments and corporations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis groundbreaking investigation delves deep into the events surrounding Hammarskjöld's tragic demise, shedding light on the murky world of espionage, political intrigue, and corporate corruption. Somaiya's meticulous research and compelling storytelling bring to life the complex web of characters and events that played a role in this mysterious tragedy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe revelations uncovered by Somaiya have profound implications for the global community. They challenge the narratives propagated by governments and corporations and expose the darker side of power and influence. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in history, politics, and the pursuit of truth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs we reflect on the events of the past, it is essential to learn from history and strive for a more just and equitable world. Ravi Somaiya's work serves as a reminder that the truth can be elusive, but it is ultimately worth uncovering. Let us continue to support journalists and investigators who work tirelessly to expose the truth and hold those in power accountable for their actions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 230g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 131 x 198 x 23 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780241975022                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ravi Somaiya","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44100916609274,"sku":"9780241975022","price":7.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/d1436cebdb12d9a0bc14e52ac8d4b0f3.jpg?v=1632713635","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/operation-morthor-the-death-of-dag-hammarskjoeld-and-the-last-great-mystery-of-the-cold-war","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
