Kurzbeschreibung

Where were you when Diana died?

For Trevor Rees-Jones the answer is simple: he was in the same hospital as Diana, fighting for his own life a few rooms away. As bodyguard to her companion Dodi Fayed, he was with the couple when, hounded by paparazzi and with a driver who turned out to be drunk, their Mercedes crashed into the thirteenth pillar of the tunnel under the Place de l'Alma in Paris. Dodi and the driver, Henri Paul, died instantaneously, medics say; Diana was rushed to a nearby hospital where doctors worked feverishly to resuscitate her before giving up in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Miraculously, Trevor survived. But his condition was critical -- internal chest injuries and a broken wrist were the least of it. His head had taken the brunt of the impact and suffered catastrophic damage; his face was crushed beyond recognition. In a stunning medical drama, however, a facial surgeon performed a miracle of reconstruction, and -- along with Trevor's own indomitable will and the support of his family and friends -- the bodyguard was able to leave hospital after just over a month. His goal then was straightforward: to return to a normal life as soon as possible, go back to work for his employer, Mohamed Al Fayed, and to the simple pleasures of rugby and his mates at home in Shropshire.

But the crash that nearly killed him had killed Diana, Princess of Wales, one of the most famous women of the late twentieth century. A normal life was no longer an option. And as Mohamed Al Fayed's grief at the loss of his son quickly turned into a desperate hunt for reasons, for culprits and conspiracy, Trevor found his unswerving loyalty to the Boss at first questioned and then,ultimately, destroyed, as Fayed pointed the finger of blame at him.

THE BODYGUARD'S STORY grippingly describes, for the first time, Trevor Rees-Jones's part in these astonishing events. From the prelude to Paris, when Trevor foun

5.0 von 5 Sternen The only survivor--and a good man, 28. Juli 2000
Rees-Jones tells his story in a simple, unassuming way. He is a man that (althought he had nearly died from the crash that had killed Princess Diana, Dodi Fayed and Henri Paul) has the indomitable spirit to keep fighting and get his life back on track again. He is lured by the sleazy tabloids, and hounded day and night, but manages to stay true to himself. It is a great story, told by a man whose principles were not compromised by the lure of instant riches.

Also, it is a story of a man, who despite incredible odds, fights back from near death. I found it to be very inspiring.

You're a good man, Trevor!

3.0 von 5 Sternen Evenhanded depiction of Mr. Rees-Jones' story, 28. Juli 2000
Before reading this book, I thought it would be exploitive for three reasons: the cover photo, the subtitle, and the last sentence of the introduction 'Trevor's story may, he believes, bring a sense of closure for William and Harry...'. However, this is truly Mr. Rees-Jones' story. Princess Diana is simply portrayed as a pleasant woman who was one of the party he was to guard.

The book tells how Mr. Rees-Jones went from being bodyguard to a relative unknown to a potential suspect in one of the most intense investigations of the twentieth century. The first third of the book details the prior month or so of his job. This part demonstrated the poor security work that often relied on amateurish cloak and dagger manuevers and that proper security work was thwarted by a fatuous boss.

The second third details his recovery from his injuries. Since he was unconscious and then medicated for this period, his parents' story was mostly used here. I found this the most tedious part of the whole book; his parents, especially his mother, are simply tiresome and of little interest to the larger story. The details of his facial surgeries were fascinating.

The last third concerns the aftermath of being released from the hospital to the final decision of the judge on the case. This part was the most gripping for me. The machinations of various parties to gain control of the testimony and newspaper interviews of a man still recovering from major trauma went so far as to be near-kidnappings. The conflict of interest of working for the man who was trying to prove a conspiracy theory through his testimony was a tense situation. I felt triumphant for him when he finally realized he was being manipulated and quit his job.

5.0 von 5 Sternen Wonderful book, 21. Juli 2000
Von Ein Kunde
After reading several "Diana" books, it was refreshing to feel that I was finally reading the truth...hopefully now Mr. Rees-Jones can get on with life. He gives such detail, but refrains from sensationalizing the story. Job well done!
