Eyewitness Bloody Sunday

by Don Mullan - £9.99  Merlin Publishing (2002)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781903582169 | ISBN 10: 1903582164

Within days of the killing of thirteen unarmed civilians and the wounding of fourteen others on Bloody Sunday, over 500 eyewitness testimonies were recorded for presentation to the Widgery Tribunal – but only 15 were considered. Officially ignored for more than two decades, Don Mullan published a hundred witness statements in the first edition of Eyewitness Bloody Sunday.
 
This book had a phenomenal and far-reaching impact, profoundly weakening the official version of the events of 30 January 1972.
 
According to BBC News: “The book Eyewitness Bloody Sunday… was crucial in bringing about the second inquiry into the events of Bloody Sunday.” Similarly, Gerry Adams MP stated that “there can be no doubt that [the book’s] revelations and new evidence contributed significantly to the British Government’s belated decision to hold a public inquiry”.
 
With the Saville inquiry now into its second year of investigations, Eyewitness Bloody Sunday has become a pivotal source book of first-hand evidence about what really happened on that tragic day.
 
There is no truth as powerful as witnessed truth, and the accounts tell a dramatic human story of tragedy, brutality and heroism. Forgotten for over 20 years, they were unearthed by Don Mullan and over 100 are published here.
