"Anyone
can commit a murder, but it takes an artist to commit a suicide." - Old KGB
saying



The high-profile death
of government weapons inspector Dr David Kelly twenty-one years ago, amid the
tumult of Britain's controversial invasion of Iraq, plunged the New Labour
government into crisis and led to the resignation of the BBC's director general.
An informal inquiry chaired by Lord Hutton into the circumstances surrounding
Kelly's death cleared the government of wrongdoing but was widely dismissed as
a whitewash.



The Strange Death of
David Kelly argues that neither the medical
evidence nor David Kelly's state of mind and personality supported the verdict
of suicide.



Analysing the official
process instigated after Kelly's death, putting the entire episode into its
political context and scrutinising the actions of the government in launching
the Iraq War, this new edition of the instant bestseller is fully updated to include
the latest evidence and theories surrounding this most mysterious and political
of deaths.
