Error of Judgment by Chris Mullin is a classic edition of an investigative reporter's work that shatters the prosecution case against six Irishmen charged with the Birmingham Bombings and changes the course of British legal history. It is an essential text on corruption, violence, and bias in British policing and justice.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 464 pages

Publisher: Octopus Publishing Group


On the evening of November 21, 1974, two bombs planted by the IRA in two crowded Birmingham pubs exploded, killing 21 people and injuring at least 170. Within a day of the explosion, six men - Paddy Hill, Gerry Hunter, Richard McIlkenny, Billy Power, Johnny Walker, and Hughie Callaghan - were arrested and charged. All were found guilty.

Methodically, with total clarity and a tone that is both gripping and impassioned, investigative journalist Mullin unpicked every detail of the case, revealing gaping holes in the prosecution case and the horrifying consequences of an establishment determined to close ranks.

Now, 50 years on from the Birmingham Bombings, and with new writing from Mullin, this classic edition of Error of Judgment tells the complete story of one of the most significant miscarriages of justice ever. As relevant now as it was when it was first published, it is an essential text on corruption, violence, and bias in British policing and justice.
