Eyewitness Bloody Sunday

Rating:
Summary: An important book
Review: It is hard to say "I love this book" because what it describes is so terrible. But it gives voice to the people who were in Derry on January 29, 1972 and allows them to describe in their own words how it came to pass that the British Army opened fire on a civil rights march, killing 14 people. This book, and its editor, share a great deal of the credit for reopening the official inquiry into the events of Bloody Sunday and causing the British government to at last take a long, hard look at whether this terrible event ever should have happened.
