Description: On the 5th of October 1974, the Provisional Irish Republican Army blew up a military pub in Guildford, killing four soldiers, one civilian and injuring sixty-five others.The responsibility for the heinous act of terror was quickly thrown at three young Irish men and a seventeen-year-old English girl. On top of this, accusations of running a  "bomb factory" was soon being shouldered by a middle-aged Irish woman who'd lived in England for twenty years.The British justice system had no evidence to prove the Guildford Four or Maguire Seven were connected to any bombings, but a large helping of police brutality and a bit of systemic corruption would soon sort that out.Become a patron:PatreonOrder a copy of the book here (US & Canada):Order on Wellesley BooksOrder on Amazon.comOrder a copy of the book here (UK, Ireland, Europe, NZ, Aus):Order on Amazon.co.ukOrder on FoylesFollow us on social media:InstagramTwitterVisit our website:WebsiteContact us:ContactSources:Armed Struggle: The History of the IRA by Richard EnglishMaking Sense of the Troubles: A history of conflict in Northern Ireland by David McKittrick and David McVeaIn The Name of the Son: The Gerald Conlan Story by Ricard O’Rawehttps://www.irishpost.com/life-style/infamous-no-irish-no-blacks-no-dogs-signs-may-never-have-existed-148416https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/oct/28/no-reason-to-doubt-no-irish-no-blacks-signshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlmgQDluhk4https://www.thejournal.ie/paddy-armstrong-documentary-1792119-Nov2014/https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2018/nov/25/british-injustice-maguire-story-review-familyhttps://www.thejusticegap.com/guildford-four-how-the-innocent-were-framed-and-the-truth-buriedhttps://magill.ie/archive/guildford-four-and-one-law-irishhttps://everything.explained.today/Gerry_Conlon/https://www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/2019/03/23/special-branch-knew-who-the-real-birmingham-bombers-were-from-1975/https://www.nytimes.com/1994/03/12/opinion/l-sins-of-the-guildford-four-prosecution-447099.htmlhttps://innocenceproject.org/how-the-uk-police-interview-suspects/https://education.niassembly.gov.uk/post_16/snapshots_of_devolution/gfahttps://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/gerry-conlon-hadnt-an-ounce-of-republicanism-in-him-says-biographer-and-boyhood-pal-36201704.htmlhttps://www.irishtimes.com/news/blair-apology-to-guilford-four-and-maguire-six-1.1174017https://group.irishecho.com/2011/02/a-view-north-of-bin-lids-and-head-bangers-in-northern-ireland/https://stairnaheireann.net/2020/10/19/otd-in-1989-after-serving-15-years-in-prison-the-guildford-four-are-released-in-what-is-considered-to-be-one-of-the-biggest-ever-miscarriages-of-justice-in-britain-3/
