Drawing on original research into explosive evidence which had been concealed for twenty- five years, Bloody Sunday and the Rule of Law in Northern Ireland offers a devastating critique of the official Widgery Inquiry into the shooting of innocent and unarmed civilians by British soldiers on 30 January 1972 - 'Bloody Sunday'. The detailed and cogent exposition of how, and the extent to which, the rule of law was sacrificed in order to achieve the result desired by the political and security establishments is profoundly disturbing. Expert analysis of the relationship between law and security policy in Northern Ireland reveals the Bloody Sunday experience as an integral part of a sustained pattern in which law and justice have served as powerful and malleable tools in the hands of the political and security establishments, rather than as constraints on the excesses of the security forces. Prospects for a revival of justice and the rule of law are found in the 1998 Good Friday Peace Agreement and the unprecedented decision to establish a second tribunal of inquiry into Bloody Sunday.
