On the 5th of October, 1975, the IRA detonated two bombs in the heart of Guildford, a garrison town just south of London. Five people lost their lives, and over sixty were injured, many seriously. With the IRA obviously to blame, and public opinion crying out for justice, suspicion fell on three Northern Irishmen, one of whom was Paddy Armstrong. Though a sensitive man with little interest in politics, he was arrested, interrogated for days under the harshest conditions and swiftly convicted for terrorist offences. He would spend the next fifteen years in prison. The legal saga to release the Guildford Four captured front pages and dominated headlines on both sides of the English Channel for over a decade. Stirring and compassionate, this book is a moving testament to the depths of human resilience.
