Loss of Faith: How the Air-India Bombers Got Away With Murder

Loss of Faith by award-winning investigative journalist Kim Bolan is a detailed examination of the 1985 bombing of Air India Flight 182 and the investigation that followed. The attack killed all 329 people aboard and remains the deadliest terrorist attack in Canadian history.

Drawing on decades of reporting, Bolan examines the people, evidence, intelligence failures, witness intimidation, and legal proceedings surrounding the case. She also recounts her own reporting experiences, including threats she faced while investigating extremist activity connected with the bombing. The book’s title reflects Bolan’s argument that serious investigative and institutional failures prevented full accountability; a later federal public inquiry examined Canada’s national-security systems and response to the tragedy.

A compelling choice for readers interested in Canadian history, investigative journalism, terrorism, intelligence, and major criminal investigations.
