 Compulsory reading for all U.K/U.S citizens. December 11, 2007

This is a fantastically brave and well researched book. Norman Baker lays out the evidence in a captivating and honest manner,leaving the reader flabbergasted by the inner workings of our government and how they manipulated the country into going into an ilegal war in Irag and poor David Kelly lost his life somewhere in the mix.
Its a `who dunnit`,only very real on a grand and horrifying scale.For all the people who were on the anti war march which was so ignored by our democratically elected government ,this is confirmation of the betrayal we all feel. This should be compulsory reading for all U.K citizens....
A prime facie case. January 23, 2008

This book by Norman Baker is absolutely first-class. From the outset I had the gravest suspicions about the whole matter, and perhaps naively, I believed that the Hutton Enquiry would reveal all. Never was I more mistaken. For an eminent Judge to have produced such a conclusion as contained in his Report- absolutely beggars belief. If I had not heard it - I would never have believed it possible for such an incredibly narrow-minded view, with so many questions left unanswered - nor even examined.
There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that this whole matter should be properly investigated, and an Inquest held, where witnesses would give evidence on oath and open to cross-examination. As it has been left, the whole scandalous affair is a complete travesty, - and I speak with thirty years experience on the Bench.

I am very surprised at ZOKKO's review. I've just finished this book and it's one of the best I've read in recent years. While Norman Baker has his personal opinion about the Kelly affair he presents all the facts in a way that allows readers to make up their own minds. I cannnot recommend this title strongly enough and am now eagerly looking forward to Mr Baker's next foray into the world of factual literature.
An axis of evil permeated No.10 Downing Street ............... January 24, 2008

of that we can be certain.This is a most brilliant book by Norman Baker who has the courage to name names and clearly point you in the right direction while NOT forcing HIS opinions on you. When David Kelly appeared on the scene, a man who was someone few in the Labour camp would recognise because he was honest, straight-forward and was world-reknown at his profession no-one in that Magic Circle of Blairs was ever going to let him stand in their way of invading Iraq alongside Bush. Exactly who this "axis" consisted of at any given time is another question with so many players willing to participate? Campbell was the Devil incarnate and if one was to trace his record back to childhood I am absolutely positive you would find he has always been a bully and a coward.Scarlett like so many others was only too willing to be at Blairs beck and call,totally incompetent at one job he was promoted into MI6.Hoon,arrogant and aloof to the end he saw the death of Kelly as little more than an "inconvenience".Blair took the UK to war, an unjustified war, having ensured the "evidence" and "facts" were in place to show what he wanted them to show to the British public and having ensured that Campbell had briefed the Labour Press "correctly" beforehand so they would be on board.The final insult to David Kelly was the whitewash given to the Government in the Hutton report by the so-called eminent judge put there for that very purpose.
Interesting and fascinating perspectives on this tragic death February 19, 2008

The Strange Death of David Kelly provides the reader with fascinating and thought provoking perspectives on the death of this internally acclaimed scientist who was thrust under the microscopic analysis of the international media and rabidly revengeful politicians because of his concerns regarding the so-called Sexed Up Dossiers.
Whilst I was hoping the book would be an interesting read and put different frames of reference on this sudden death, I had some doubt as to its political neutrality given its author being an MP; however, despite there being what I considered to be some efforts to score political points, the book was actually well written and on the whole was not used for political gain.
The author has clearly spent a great deal of time researching this subject despite, according to his writings, some efforts by 'unknown forces' to thwart its development. All credit to Norman Baker for his persistence.
The book introduced material which stimulated thought and individual consideration as to what exactly happened in relation to David Kelly's death. It took the reader on an international journey to various possibilities and potential links to his premature demise; whilst I did not always agree with the author's views and interpretations, it made very interesting reading which, I shall admit, became somewhat addictive.
It may very well be that David Kelly did indeed commit suicide; but on the basis of information published, the book did raise a number of eye brow raising questions that, to me, remain unanswered. New information may come to light as time progresses - if so, I think Normal Baker would be well placed to build upon this book to either raise new questions, or come to a more specific conclusion as to what actually happened.
Overall, a good read and highly provoking; recommended.
