Kurzbeschreibung

From the point of view of Trevor Rees-Jones, here is a gripping account of the weeks that led up to the crash, the relationship between Dodi and Princess Diana, and the fateful, chaotic events of that tragic night. In the end, it is a profoundly moving story of a young man who entered a realm of fame and glamour, little realizing it would almost cost him his life and cast a dark shadow of suspicion over him...and that he would emerge from all of it with his dignity and honor intact.

5.0 von 5 Sternen The only survivor--and a good man, 28. Juli 2000

Von	meiringen "meiringen" (the Midwest) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen

Diese Rezension stammt von: The Bodyguard's Story: Diana, the Crash, and the Sole Survivor (Gebundene Ausgabe)

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

Von	sbtier "sbtier" (Arlington, MA) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen

Diese Rezension stammt von: The Bodyguard's Story: Diana, the Crash, and the Sole Survivor (Gebundene Ausgabe)

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.

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!
