Les Coleman-Lockerbie bombing expose
this link takes you to a couple of chapters of the book that Coleman wrote with a guy named Goddard, called Trail of the Octopus.

Coleman sought asylum in Sweden after this book was published in the U.K. and it was banned in the U.S.

Thought it was timely.

The truth about Flight 103 will probably never be known in all its particulars. Too many people have tampered with the evidence. Too many people have lied about it or stayed silent. Too much remains hidden behind the cloak of national security and legal privilege . . . But if the whole truth is never likely to be known, enough of it has emerged from the fog of lies and evasion to point a finger at those responsible . . .

At first the answer seemed obvious, not least to the American and British authorities: the Iranians had commissioned a Palestinian terrorist cell to commit the atrocity in revenge for the shooting down of an Iranian airbus in the Gulf. But as the years went by, so Western governments began to blame the Libyans. Why? And with what justification?

Lester Coleman tells a shocking story. A former employee of the American Defense Intelligence Agency, he describes a dangerous web of connections between the West and Middle Eastern organizations and a controlled drug run from Beirut to the States that went horribly wrong.

2. you can do a used book search online
I did a while ago, but the only copies available in the U.S. were going for more than 200 dollars..there are copies available in the U.K. for less--about 70 dollars, and then you have shipping charges.

too steep for my budget.

apparently, though, this site is still talking about printing a U.S. edition...don't know the status on that one.
