Subtitle varies, (which hinders crossreferencing) MacMillan, London: The Litvinenko file : the true story of a death foretold St. Martin's, NY: The Litvinenko file : the life and death of a Russian spy Pan Books, London: The Litvinenko file : politics, polonium and Russia's war with itself Aleksandr Litvinenko died by a most unusual method, possibly unprecedented: alpha radiation from ingested Polonium-210 killed him, in London in 2006. The poison might not have been identified, had special military detectors not been brought into the hospital. A city-wide investigation was then launched. In this book, Martin Sixsmith fingers former KGB agent Andrei Lugovoy as the most likely suspect. Shortly after publication, that theory was officially adopted by the British prosecution (reportedly much to the relief of the original publisher). Back in Russia, Lugovoy became a folk hero, was elected to parliament (the Duma) and thereby enjoys legal immunity. The question of his extradition has become a diplomatic issue. Compared to this murder, relatively little attention has been paid to the allegations which made Litvnenko a target in the first place: that the wave of terrorist apartment bombings which helped bring Putin to power initially, were not the work of Chechnyan rebels, but perpretrated rather by pro-Putin elements within KGB/FSB itself.
