Since his fatal plane crash in Croatia in April 1996, the mysterious death of Ron Brown has been the subject of much controversy and suspicion. In this powerful new book, Jack Cashill separates the truth from the myth in Brown’s checkered career as Clinton fund-raiser and Commerce Secretary. Desperately afraid of giving Newt Gingrich a Republican president, the White House launched a reckless and relentless pursuit of campaign cash. This pursuit, Cashill learned, would eventually cost Ron Brown his life.

“I entered this project more to investigate the campaign than Brown’s death,” Cashill says. “I was convinced that the plane crash was an accident. To say the least, I have lost that conviction.” In Ron Brown’s Body, Cashill answers the most vital questions surrounding Brown’s rise and fall: Why did his plane crash? Why did the Enron executives take their own plane? Why did the White House suppress an investigation into both the crash and the “apparent bullet hole” in Brown’s head? What were the Enron execs doing in Croatia in the first place? And what larger forces caused the White House to sell seats on this and other trade missions? 

"A human and sympathetic portrait . . . Riveting storytelling . . . Meticulously researched . . . All Americans should demand a full investigation into Ron Brown's activities as Commerce Secretary and into the circumstances of his death." Kansas City Star
