The cross section and the transverse-longitudinal asymmetry A{sub TL} of the three-body breakup process {sup 3}He(e,e{sup '}p)pn have been calculated by a parameter-free approach based upon realistic few-body wave functions corresponding to the AV18 interaction, treating the rescattering of the struck nucleon within the unfactorized generalized eikonal approximation. The results of calculations exhibit a good agreement with recent JLab experimental data and show the dominant role played by the final state interaction, which, however, in the region of missing momentum, 300< or approx.p{sub m}< or approx.600 MeV/c, and removal energy corresponding to the two-body kinematic peak and higher, E{sub m}> or approx.p{sub m}{sup 2}/4m{sub N}, is dominated by single-nucleon rescattering, providing evidence that the final state interaction is mainly due to the one between the struck nucleon and a nearby correlated one.
