"Unfolds the gripping story--at once fascinating and grim--of the investigation of the case and the trial of the accused persons." --Sri M. N. Venkatachaliah, former chief justice of India
Product Description
The depth of the ethnic crisis in Sri Lanka and its repercussions in India are illuminated in this account of the investigation, pursuit, and trial of the daring suicide operatives of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam who assassinated the young, dynamic Indian leader Rajiv Gandhi. The meticulous inquiry into a special investigation team's efforts to uncover clues is followed by an account of the breathless search for the killers. The obstacles prosecutors overcame to try and convict the criminals reveal the legal challenges inherent in trying assassination cases. This enthralling history offers a critical testimony to how, even in a democracy, minority grievances must be confronted to curtail, or prevent, such violent acts.
