A decade ago, the death of Dr David Kelly shook the country and for a moment threatened to topple a Blair administration already reeling from dissent against the war in Iraq. The government scientist had died in woods near his Oxfordshire home amid a scandal over the leaking of reports that the case for war was flawed. In this event recorded live at the 2013 Edinburgh International Book Festival, Robert Lewis, author of Dark Actors, recounts the events surrounding an appalling human tragedy in an interview withAl Senter.
