Book Review:
''The Bodyguard's Story'' by Trevor Rees-Jones with Moira Johnston is a gripping, deeply moving, and astonishing first-hand account of one of the most tragic and controversial events of the late 20th century: the death of Diana, Princess of Wales.

Rees-Jones was the bodyguard to Dodi Al-Fayed, Diana's companion, and was in the Mercedes when it crashed in the Alma tunnel in Paris. He suffered catastrophic head injuries but miraculously survived, while Dodi and the driver died instantly, and Diana later died in hospital. This book tells the story of his survival, his long and painful recovery, and the extraordinary events that followed—including his conflict with his employer, Mohamed Al-Fayed, who publicly blamed him for the crash.

This is a story of courage under fire, of ordinary people facing extraordinary circumstances, and of surviving with soul and values intact. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the true story behind the headlines. Highly recommended for its honesty, emotion, and insight.
