This is the story of one brave father's determination to bring his daughter's murderers to justice through the American justice system. Stephen M. Flatow says he was "just a real estate lawyer in New Jersey" –– until April 9, 1995.
Flatow's life changed that day when he learned his daughter Alisa – a twenty-year-old college student traveling in Israel – had been the victim of a terrorist bus-bombing. After he discovered the Iranian government had directly sponsored the bomber, Flatow decided to sue the terror state. It was not to be quixotic as Flatow, working with a superb Washington lawyer and an astute forensic researcher, not only won a dramatic verdict against Iran but collected a huge judgment.
