Eyewitness Bloody Sunday
In January 1997 Eyewitness Bloody Sunday was published to controversy and in the ensuing months became the catalyst in the campaign for justice for the families of the 13 victims of the Bloody Sunday massacre. Along with the Channel 4 documentary which was based on the book, Eyewitness Bloody Sunday led to the announcement of a new tribunal of enquiry to re-examine the evidence which was heard and more importantly that was rejected by the discredited Widgery Tribunal.
The Boy Who Wanted to Fly
Don Mullan was a young dyslexic boy growing up in a Northern Ireland being violently torn apart by The Troubles. Having witnessed Bloody Sunday he was tempted to join the IRA, as many of his contemporaries did. But the boy had a hero. And he was English. This is the story of how Don was mesmerised at an early age by the great England 1966 World Cup winning goalkeeper, Gordon Banks. In 1970 he met Banks in Ireland and the encounter was to have a profound impact on Don and a primary reason why he rejected violence. A powerful, moving and unforgettable story, The Boy Who Wanted to Fly is for everyone who's ever had a hero. Includes: an interview with Gordon Banks and details of the battle to create a monument to the great goalkeeper. Don Mullan is the author of best-selling Eyewitness Bloody Sunday and a respected humanitarian. He is currently involved in numerous international projects.

Eyewitness Bloody Sunday
Thirteen unarmed civil rights marchers were shot dead by the British Army's Parachute Regiment on January 30, 1972 on a day that came to be known as Bloody Sunday. This book recalls the events with eyewitness accounts. Published to coincide with the 25th anniversary of that day, this book also examines the findings of the Widgery Tribunal of Inquiry, set up to investigate the events. Among those interviewed are adults who attended the march, schoolchildren, priests, paramedics, former British servicemen and an ex-RUC officer.
How Novels Work
Never has contemporary fiction been more widely discussed and passionately analysed; recent years have seen a huge growth in the number of reading groups and in the interest of a non-academic readership in the discussion of how novels work. Drawing on his weekly Guardian column, 'Elements of Fiction', John Mullan examines novels mostly of the last ten years, many of which have become firm favourites with reading groups. He reveals the rich resources of novelistic technique, setting recent fiction alongside classics of the past. Nick Hornby's adoption of a female narrator is compared to Daniel Defoe's; Ian McEwan's use of weather is set against Austen's and Hardy's; Carole Shield's chapter di...
Gordon Banks
A few weeks ago a small but very moving book 'A Hero Who Could Fly' was published about an Irish boy and his English hero. It is the memoir of a boy with learning disabilities who learned to read and write through his sporting idol, Gordon Banks. Through the darkest days of 'The Troubles', the influence of the boy's hero remained constant. It all began 40 years ago this month when, on 30 July 1966, the boy saw Banksy for the first time on TV in the World Cup Final at Wembley. As an adult the boy became a best-selling author with Eyewitness Bloody Sunday - a book that inspired the award-winning movie 'Bloody Sunday' - but he never forgot the debt of gratitude he owed to England's greatest goalkeeper.
