This book should make you both feel ashamed to be part of the British system and very, very angry. I'm familiar with the case having been involved in the campaign to free the innocent people convicted of the Woolwich, Guildford and Birmingham pub bombings. This book exposes the myth of British "justice" fairplay and the rule of law, revealing as in the Birmingham case the violence, corruption and incompetence of the police ably supported by the upper class judges who conveniently ignored vital facts, misdirected the jury and were complicit in the fitting up of the innocent men and women and in the subsequent cover up. Nothing exposes the corruption and guilt of the police more than their actions in the last few years, aside from the establishment engaging in a despicable whispering campaign against these innocent men and women, the police sought to have vital papers relating to the case shut from public view until 2059. If as these corrupt liars say they did convict the guilty parties (they didn't) then surely they would release these files, nothing exposes their guilt corruption and cowardice more than sealing up papers that may give the bomb victims the truth they deserve. They are more concerned with the reputation of British institutions than a few ordinary people murdered by terrrorists. Just like the victims in Birmingham, Hillsborough, the infected blood scandal and the Post Office scandal the establishment closes ranks and protects the guilty - the police, judges and the politicians. And if you think miscarriages of justice are a thing of the past read the case of Andrew Malkinson.
This is a wonderful book, meticulously researched and updated, if you do believe in British "justice" and fair play, read this and the books about the Birmingham Six to reveal the exent of the rottenness endemic in the British state.
