War and an Irish Town

War and an Irish Town

"On 13 Janruary 1972 the Parachute Regimeny shot dead fourteen unarmed civilians in Derry. The Paras had been deployed against an anti-internment demonstration at which the principal speakers were fenner Brockway, the Labour peer, and Bernadette Devlin, the Independent MP for Mid-Ulster. Twenty years later this book offers a unique account of events of that day and their aftermath and provides a detailed analysis of the Widgery Report. It concludes that the Widgerey Report is the greatest single travesty of justice arising out of the Northern Ireland turmoil of the past two decades"
