Redhanded

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 Richar
