Author: Phil Scraton
The definitive account of the 1989 Hillsborough disaster and the long fight for the truth, by the academic who worked with the families. Serious and sobering. Writer Jimmy McGovern, who dramatised the events for television, called it “dynamite”, and Andy Burnham MP said the full truth “would never have been known were it not for Phil Scraton’s meticulous efforts”. Scraton’s research was recognised with Queen’s University Belfast’s 2013 award for research impact. Best for: readers who want the full, documented story.
