However with McNamara and Shurcliffs negative attitudes to the project it was soon killed off. Thus began the śif we cannot do it neither can you attitude towards other countries efforts for supersonic flight.This is the story of ten years of behindthescenes political intrigue making use of inside information from two American presidents and the Federal Aviation Authority as well as recently declassified papers from the CIA and President Kennedy on how the Americans planned to destroy Concorde and their own American SST.
