Bloody Sunday and Beyond

About This Book

On 30 January 1972, soldiers of the 1st Battalion, Parachute Regiment opened fire on a civil rights march in the Bogside area of Derry, killing fourteen unarmed civilians. The Widgery Tribunal that followed was widely regarded as a whitewash. This book goes beyond the headlines to uncover the personal testimonies that were suppressed for decades — the witnesses who were threatened into silence, the families who waited thirty-eight years for justice, and the ripple effects that transformed the conflict. From the burning of the British Embassy in Dublin to Operation Motorman, this is the story of a community pushed beyond endurance.
