In "Flight 149," Stephen Davis unveils the harrowing true story of a 1990 flight from London to Kuala Lumpur that landed in Kuwait amidst an Iraqi invasion. What was meant to be a routine refueling turned into a terrifying ordeal, as 385 passengers and crew were held hostage and subjected to inhumane treatment. Drawing on firsthand accounts, Davis exposes the shocking cover-ups by British intelligence and the CIA, revealing a significant misuse of intelligence that reshaped relationships between the West and the Middle East.
