From Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "At the time when Gerry Conlon was arrested all Irish people living in England were seen as guilty by the British Establishment. I found out later that my parents had arranged for friends to look after my brother and I in case they were picked up!!! A terrible time. Everyone should read this book."; "An absolutely insane story, a bit too much prison chat for my liking but it's needed to understand/emphasise the gravity of the injustice that occurred to many falsely imprisoned Irishmen under Britain's occupation, as well as the many formative years of their lives they had lost as a result. Highly recommend, be warned it's a heavy read!"; "This is such an important read, sometimes reality is crazier than fiction and this miscarriage of justice is truly one of the worst I have ever seen. Young people losing over a decade of their lives due to discrimination and the victims of the tragedy never receiving justice.": "Interesting story I knew nothing about. Such a stressful and irritating story about a police force finding scapegoats because their government demanded results. The truth was never a consideration. It truly terrifying to put yourself in those shoes."; "astonishing book, one of the best i have ever read!"
