One of the most egregious miscarriages of justice of the 20th century.
October 2024 marked the 50th Anniversary of the Guildford bombings by the IRA, massive media attention. In 1974, the lives of Carole Richardson, Paul Hill, Gerard Conlon, and Patrick Armstrong were forever changed when they were wrongfully convicted of the Guildford pub bombings, based solely on confessions extracted through intimidation and violence. They endured 14 years behind bars, serving the longest sentences ever imposed by an English judge for a crime they did not commit. Originally published in 1988 this is the book that uncovered what is widely regarded as one of the most egregious miscarriages of justice in recent British history. Through meticulous research and compelling evidence, the authors unravel the chilling story of the 1974-75 IRA bombing campaign. Featuring fresh material, including documents revealing that the police knew who the bombers were before the original trial, the book also shows how the police passed information to the DPP who chose not to share it with the defense at the trial.
