"Where were you when Diana died?

For Trevor Rees-Jones the answer is simple: he was in the same hospital as Diana, fighting for his own life a few rooms away. As bodyguard to her companion Dodi Fayed, he was with the couple when, hounded by paparazzi and with a driver who turned out to be drunk, their Mercedes crashed into the thirteenth pillar of the tunnel under the Place de l'Alma in Paris. Dodi and the driver, Henri Paul, died instantaneously, medics say; Diana was rushed to a nearby hospital where doctors worked feverishly to resuscitate her before giving up in the early hours of Sunday morning."

This book about Lady Diana's accident is well written and tells what one of the bodyguards, who was in the accident, remembers.
It will make you hate paparazzi (if you didn't already)...
And it really makes you wonder about the truth, because it shows how some people are ready to tell incorrect information just to pretend they know something.

I will now reserve it for the Iconic sweepstakes.

Sent to the winner or decoy of the Iconic sweepstakes (round 8).
Enjoy! :)

Arrived with me as part of the Iconic sweeps!! Thank you!

This is a very well written account of the crash that killed Diana and Dodi, as told by the sole survivor, Trevor Rees-Jones. It accounts, as best as Trevor can remember, from their vacation on the yacht, to meeting in Paris, the fateful trip, plus his recovery and French investigation. The behaviour of the media was atrocious, but Al Fayed's manipulation, paranoia and control freakery was as bad if not worse.
An amazing story told, in truth, by the one that was there.
