Diana: Death of a Goddess by David Cohen
>> Tuesday, 13 May 2008
Book from the National library.
It's been a while since I read the book and put the review on pending.I hope I got the title and the author right.
The first chapter of the book explains how the relationship between Diana and Dodi begins. Hasnat khan, a pakistani (if not mistaken, pls google) surgeon and the true love of Diana's has ended the relationship. With frustration Diana turned to Dodi.Unlike Diana, whom some called 'the Goddest', Dodi is a spoil son with hugh credit caard bills, womenizer and and financially dependant to his father. When he met Diana, he was engaged to I-cannot-remember-who, later simply ended the engagement and turned his attention to Diana.
The next section explained in great details of what happened during the night before the crash. It is interesting to learn that, Dodi had changed his plan to get away from the paparazzi; they took a decoy mercedes (previously had mechanical problems) at the back of the Ritz hotel(own by al-fayed) and changed their route.It is said that dodi was meeting someone over a business deal (dodi wants to impress his dad that he can do business) so they end up in alma tunnel, where a fiat uno waiting in front, in zig zag movement before the mercedes crashed. The fiat uno however, managed to escape with a minor side-mirror damage, which was fixed on the next day but later has never become the 'interest' when the official investigations was commenced. The fiat uno driver, James Anderson, a successful and high-profile paparazzi was found dead burned in his car in year 2000, He was said to have committed a suicide, but a bullet-hole found in his skull remains a mystery. A photo at the coverpage of the book, dispaying the Paul Henry(driver), trevor rees-jones(body-guard) and Diana (with head turned back, but Dodi's face was hidden) is said to be taken by James Anderson while zig-zaging in the tunnel before the crash. Another person accompanying James Anderson in the fiat uno remains a mystery.Ironically, no other evidences were available; all of the speed-cameras along the tunnel were 'malfunctioned' that night and 3-4 hours after the crashed, the tunnel was throughly sprayed with water and 'cleaned' all of the remaining evidences.
The book explained in details of the many theories puzzled around the mystery of the crash. The french cult-order of the solar temple was said to have its common connection; among the members are Princes Charles, Diana and the late Grace Kelly, whom was killed in a similar car accident. It was said that a bug had been planted in the car that hazadous toxin was released (remotely controlled) and cause blurred vision and lost of motor controls. It was said during the time, Grace Kelly has intended to leave the Order and exposed the holy grail scam. Later, a similar theory was sought; a nerve agaent called VX was slipped with a pin into paul henry's shirt by his 'girl-friend', whom Henry 'met' before wheeling the decoy-mercedes.
some other has relate the landmines campaign by Diana to ban landmines as one of the theory. SOme beneficial individual seemed unhappy with the campaign and wanted Diana to be ceased. Later, more revealing fact turned interesting; Al-fayed was said to have involved in a high level of smuggling illegal weapons that later he too turned into 'silent'. After the accident, Dodi's mobile phone was no where to be found anywhere in the tunnel, later in the other book (I cant remember which one) Al Fayed has addmitted that the mobile was found but no details was ever mebtioned. It remains a mystery and many thought strong evidence may be sought from the mobile phone as Dodi has been said to have make several important calls before leaving Ritz Hotel.
There's so much interesting facts and events after the crash. as many of us know, trevor rees-jones bodyguard is still alive and 'untouched'. Investigations were carried out but received debatable comments. The high carbon monoxide and alcohol in Paul henry's blood revealed many more disputes by different level of French authorites. Interestingly, many high-profiles were killed in France in different 'accidental' events.
Overall, I guess it'll best to read on own.
