[Donna · Rating 4 out of 5]

The horror of this tragedy would be fertile enough ground for a book but the systemic cover up of failures is a whole added dimension. It was a tragedy upon a tragedy and the author does a really excellent job of explaining the ins and outs of both before and after the disaster. It well researched and the author has been close to this case for years which shows. The fight for justice, almost never ending, with insult heaped upon insult finally culminated in the vindication of the fans and blame being laid at the right doors. The author’s exposure of the lies played a role in the overturning of accidental death verdicts and he handles everything sensitively and intelligently.
