The hunt for those responsible takes Jakubowicz from the executive floor of his Munich newspaper office all the way to Afghanistan. Why was German commander Robert Westphal able to order American pilots to bomb a truck filled with children by the Taloqan River? Who benefited from the attack? Was Westphal bribed? And where is he now?
