Charlotte Dennett

Charlotte Dennett is an American investigative journalist, author and attorney who has spent decades examining the intersection of oil politics, intelligence operations and the Middle East. She is the daughter of Daniel Dennett Sr., a CIA operative who died in a mysterious plane crash in Ethiopia in 1947. The Crash of Flight 3804 investigates her father's death and uncovers a larger story about Western intelligence agencies, oil companies and their covert operations in the Middle East during the critical post-war period when control of petroleum resources was reshaping global power. Dennett draws on declassified documents, family papers and her own investigative work to piece together a compelling narrative that is part family memoir, part geopolitical thriller. Her work sheds light on how oil politics and covert operations have shaped the modern Middle East. She has worked as a journalist and editor for several publications and has been active in legal and political advocacy. Her audiobooks and books offer readers a deeply researched window into hidden chapters of Cold War history.
