January 21, 2016 saw the release of the official British report on the mysterious death of Alexander Litvinenko back in 2006. The report concludes that Litvinenko was probably murdered by polonium on the personal orders of Vladimir Putin. But now it's been discovered that the report lacks a factual evidentiary basis. Indeed, it mirrors unsupported allegations made by Boris Berezovsky immediately upon Litvinenko's death. Berezovsky was a fugitive Russian oligarch living in London while waging a massive misinformation campaign against Putin. Litvinenko was his front man. Author William Dunkerley says that he does not know whether or not Putin is to blame. But, he says "it is concerning that the efforts to convince others of Putin's culpability have been founded merely upon fabrications pushed by people with their own agenda." Litvinenko Murder Case Solved offers a thorough analysis of this puzzling and long-unsolved case. Dunkerley has been dubbed the world's foremost authority on how the Litvinenko affair has been covered in the news. In 2007 he was commissioned by the International Federation of Journalists to analyze the media coverage of the case. Dunkerley presented his peer-reviewed findings at the organization's World Congress that same year. Now his further groundbreaking research has uncovered a surprising mystery inside the mystery. As described in Litvinenko Murder Case Solved, it stands in contrast to the faulty conclusions of the British inquiry report. --Why did the case attract so much media attention? --Was state sponsored terrorism involved? --Who masterminded the whole thing? --Was Litvinenko really murdered? --What about the rogue coroner who refused to do his job? --What went wrong with the inquest, and why did it collapse? --How was the case politicized at the highest levels of UK government? The book answers these and other questions. Dunkerley focuses on the coroner's inquest that began in 2011 and the subsequent official inquiry whose public hearings ended in mid-2015. The book comes with free online updates to keep readers current on all significant later events, including the author's analysis of the official inquiry report. Litvinenko Murder Case Solved presents a riveting look behind the scenes at all the ins and outs. It will open your eyes to an entirely new dimension.
