Description
The Bloody Truth: A Gripping Account of the Maze Prison Escape. In 1978, the conflict in Northern Ireland reached its boiling point. Hundreds of IRA members were arrested and imprisoned in the notorious Maze prison. On November 26, 1978, two gunmen executed a prison official, sparking a trial that would last for years. Twenty-four-year-old Kevin Barry was convicted and sentenced to life, but he never gave up hope of freedom. Six weeks later, his prayers were answered - he made a daring escape from the Maze, fleeing to California and going underground. For decades, the British government pursued him relentlessly, but he managed to stay one step ahead of his pursuers. This is the true story behind one of the most infamous prison breaks in history. A gripping account of the Maze Prison Escape, this book sheds light on a pivotal moment in Northern Ireland's troubled past and the lengths to which those in power will go to maintain control.
