This gripping account of the civil litigation regarding the Lockerbie terrorist bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 - the most significant air disaster case of the 20th century - features conspiracies, surprising discoveries, intense negotiations, and riveting courtroom drama. Along the way, it commemorates Lee Kreindler, a deeply passionate attorney who was willing to risk everything to get justice and fair compensation for the victims' families and to make air travel safer for everyone.
Ruth Kreindler
Ruth was married to Lee for 50 years, during which they were partners in every sense of the word – the fight for justice was their joint fight.
In addition to her career as an interior and architectural designer, Ruth was with Lee every step of the way in his legal efforts to make the world a better place. She accompanied him on his many travels during the Lockerbie litigation and Libya negotiations, and they spoke about them at length at home, on airplane rides, and via telephone. In the process, Ruth recorded her notes and created large scrapbooks documenting the events. Her vivid, detailed, first-hand account became the the foundation for this book.

THE FIGHT FOR JUSTICE is a fitting monument to an extraordinary man who fought one of the great legal struggles of modern times and triumphed. It is a truly rewarding read.
The first thing I did after reading Ruth Kreindler’s compelling saga of the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 – both its prelude and aftermath – was give the book to an acquaintance of mine who produces movies... “It’s the next blockbuster,” I told him... I know a good story when I read one.
THE FIGHT FOR JUSTICE sheds an intimate, bright light on the horrific aftershock of the crash of Pan Am Flight 103. For anyone interested in airline disasters and the history of modern terrorism, it is an absolute
must-read.
An impressive book. Not only is it a clear presentation of an enormously complex story, it moves forward with great momentum like a spy thriller.
A readable, nuanced and detailed account of Lee Kreindler's multi-year, patient work on behalf of the victims of the Lockerbie air disaster. This "fight for justice" reads like a page-turning, well-written detective story... A very good read that I recommend.
