Description
On the evening of 21st November 1974, bombs planted by the IRA in two crowded Birmingham pubs exploded, killing 21 people and injuring at least 170. This devastating event led to a miscarriage of justice, as six men were arrested and charged with the bombings. Investigative journalist Chris Mullin's book, Error of Judgement, meticulously unpicked every detail of the case, revealing gaping holes in the prosecution case and the horrifying consequences of an establishment determined to close ranks.
Now 50 years on from the Birmingham Bombings, this edition of Error of Judgement tells the complete story of one of the most significant miscarriages of justice ever. With new writing from Mullin, the book remains as relevant today as it was when it was first published, shedding light on corruption, violence and bias in British policing and justice.
Originally published to great acclaim, Error of Judgement is a gripping and impassioned account of a pivotal moment in British history. This book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the complexities of justice and the human impact of institutional failure.
