Bloody Sunday and the Rule of Law in Northern Ireland

Drawing on original research into explosive evidence which had been concealed for 25 years, this book offers a devastating critique of the official Widgery Inquiry into the mass slaughter of innocent and unarmed civilians by British soldiers on Bloody Sunday. It exposes the Inquiry as a gross denial of justice and the rule of law. Expert analysis of the subordination of law to security policy in Northern Ireland reveals that the Bloody Sunday experience is an integral part of a sustained pattern.
