I got this book at the Ramstein Air Base (Germany) Library Free Book Exchange.I am always looking for good books to read that will also expand my shelf for some wonderful trades.

From the back cover:On July 17, 1996, minutes after take off, TWA flight 800 was blown out of hte sky, killing all 230 people on board.
Nine months and millions of tax dollars later, federal investigators still have no answer. Or so they say. America deserves better. America deserves the truth....
This book is a ...Let me try and explain what a “Ray It Forward” is. More or less it is the lazy way for me to set up a common BookRay. Ordinarily a BookRay has a list of participants and it gets mailed down the line to the last person who does whatever they wish with the book. Well, I have no desire to maintain a list so this is what I figure. I’ll find the first person that wants this book and send it to them. I just ask that they pass the book along “BookRay” fashion when they are done with it.
If you are in possession of this book then please look for another BookCrosser to pass it to. Check the wish lists, the forums, a yahoo group, the BookRelay, or offer it at a meeting …whatever way you choose to pass it on is up to you. If it seems that no other BookCrossers want it then send it along its way as a wild release.
What are the advantages of Ray it Forward?
Time frame – I ask that you pass the book along in a couple months or so but because there is not a “waiting list” the time is a little more relaxed than a standard BookRay.
Shipping Preferences – Choose your own. If you need to post within your own country then do so. If you choose to send international that is great too. If postal costs are a problem right now then hand it to another BookCrosser at a meeting, release to an OBCZ, or just wild release the book.
Less Stress – If the book gets stalled due to life circumstances, then so be it. I prefer that the book keep moving along but it is all out of my hands now. “So don’t sweat the small stuff … and remember it is all small stuff!”
Reserved for LoveTeaAndBooks. I am also going to include some German Pfefferminzetee (Peppermint Tea) in honor of the screen name.
Well, this book is a well researched and well thought out book about a tragedy and the way that it is portayed in the media and through government sources. I understand why the US Government wants no part in admitting responsibility but I also feel that it is something that they must do.With the more recent events of the world I wonder if the downing of TWA Flight 800 would have been handled differently and how the media and the world would have reacted to the news.
Mailed on 12 July 2005 to LoveTeaAndBooks.
Received in mail today with the wonderful tea. I can't wait to have a cup and start reading tonight.

Thanks so much for sending me this book and the yummy tea. I am sending as a surprise to another BXer with a request for her to "Ray it Forward" when finished. I enjoyed this book (in a morbid sort of way) and hope that the next reader will enjoy again.
