Description
Summary:	"One victim was ebullient, twenty-five-year-old intelligence officer Laura Piper, in love with life and with being an Air Force lieutenant. A Chain of Events is the story of Laura's final flight, the Air Force's mishandling of the subsequent investigation, and the Piper family's battle with government bureaucracies for accountability. It is about duty, patriotism, a mother's devotion to a daughter's memory, and a family's disappointment in a beloved institution."--Jacket.
