Sobre este áudio

In 1947, Daniel Dennett, America’s first master spy in the Middle East, was dispatched to Saudi Arabia to study the route of the proposed Trans-Arabian Pipeline. It would be his last assignment. On the way, a plane carrying him to Ethiopia went down, killing everyone on board. Today, Dennett is recognized by the CIA as a “fallen star” and is an important figure in US intelligence history. Yet the true story behind his death remains clouded in secrecy.

In The Crash of Flight 3804, investigative journalist Charlotte Dennett digs into her father’s counterintelligence work, which pitted him against America’s wartime allies - the British, the French, and the Russians - in a covert battle for geopolitical and economic influence in the Middle East. Through vivid storytelling, extensive research, and deep analysis of region-defining maps, she reveals how feverish competition among intelligence networks, military, and Big Oil interests have fueled indiscriminate attacks and targeted killings that continue to this day. By introducing the listener to all the major players, the audiobook delivers an irrefutable indictment of these devastating forces and how the brutal violence they incite has shaped the Middle East and birthed an era of endless wars.

Part personal pilgrimage, part detective story, Dennett’s insightful reportage and deft critique examines what happens to international relations when oil wealth hangs in the balance, shining a light on what so many have actually been dying for.

Resumo da Crítica

“Charlotte Dennett has written an excellent book summarizing the geopolitics of the Middle East historically through to current events.... This is an amazing piece of historical writing.... Students, foreign affairs ‘experts’ and officials should have this work as required reading.” (Jim Miles, Palestine Chronicle)

“What makes the book so compelling is how much deeper and broader she digs than personal memoir.... Equal parts Thomas L. Friedman and Tom Clancy, the book is a remarkable achievement whose personalized insights on geopolitics are both gripping and sobering.” (Seven Days)
