Cruel Fate: One Man's Triumph over Injustice

Autor Hugh Callaghan, Sally Mulready Introducere de Padraig O'Malley
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 dec 1995
In March 1991, Hugh Callaghan and the other men known as "the Birmingham Six" were released from custody after spending sixteen years in British jails as the result of an appalling miscarriage of justice. Cruel Fate is Callaghan's personal account of his life, the strange circumstances that saw him arrested and charged as an IRA bomber after the Birmingham pub massacres of November 1974, and his survival through the years spent in various prisons. When first published in Ireland, the book was hailed as a triumph of the human spirit. Now available in America for the first time, this edition includes a new epilogue in which Callaghan reflects on his experiences since regaining his freedom.

Recenzii

"Callaghan was a member of a group of Irishmen who were the victims of one of the most horrific examples of injustice in modern legal history. . . . I found the book almost impossible to leave down. . . . By any yardstick this is a gripping story."—The Sunday Press "There are many moments reading through Hugh Callaghan's account of his appalling torture and imprisonment for the Birmingham pub bombings when tears are never far away. . . . Cruel Fate charts his childhood and move from Belfast, his 'new life' in Birmingham, the arrests, beatings, and trial, and his life in three different prisons. The Birmingham Six had no chance against a system rigid in its self-righteousness, brutal in its execution, and blind in its indifference to overwhelming evidence over the ensuing 16 years. . . . This is a story which should not be forgotten."—Irish Independent "The combination of humility and courage so clearly manifested in this book is an example for everyone involved in the struggle for change."—Michael Mansfield
