A terrifying hijacking story written with dramatic depth

Terrorism has fascinated me ever since I have been able to understand its complexities. I highly recommend Kurt Carlson's book, as he explains with vivid candor the courage of the crew, especially Uli Derickson, his terror at being brutally beaten and the anger of the Lebenese terrorists who hijacked Flight 847. It is a book that will transport you to that Boeing 727 on June 14th -- a searing memoir that will take you back to when airline terrorism was at its climax.

TWA Hijack Book Excellent!

The story of the 1985 TWA incident has always been very interesting to me, for almost 5 years now. This is one of the best sources of what happened on the plane. The way the story is told is very suspenseful and very engrossing, and is presented in such a way that once you open the book, you won't be able to close it until you're finished, like in my case. You should definitely grab this book!! It could be one of the best books you'll ever read!!
