Bloody Sunday by John Scally PDF Free

January 30, 1972, in Derry, Northern Ireland, is a day that will forever be remembered in Ireland as Bloody Sunday. In a carnival atmosphere, a peaceful anti-internment march began, only to end tragically a few hours later when thirteen unarmed marchers were shot dead by the British Army. Within days of the killings, more than 500 eyewitness testimonies were recorded to be presented to a British Tribunal by the National Civil Rights Association. The Widgery Tribunal, ignoring the evidence, produced a report that cleared the British Army of any responsibility, again making a mockery of British justice as practiced in Northern Ireland. Don Mullan’s meticulous research has seriously undermined the official British version of events. The Irish government and many U.S. congressmen have stated that these discoveries warrant the re-opening of the Bloody Sunday inquiry. No truth is as powerful as witnessed truth, and the witnesses to the massacre tell a dramatic human story of tragedy, brutality and heroism. Bloody Sunday revisits more than 100 of these accounts–published here for the first time.
