Descriere magazin:
It sounds like the fictional plot of a blockbuster thriller... [W]ith his lawyer\'s eye and passion to expose injustice, Lawton makes this a timeless and borderless tale... [E]ssential reading for anyone who hopes to understand not only the Irish conflict, but how the rule of law can be subverted in any divided society. -MICHAEL BEATTIE, former Head of News and Current Affairs at Ulster Television, producer of television documentaries \'Unlocking the Maze\' (UTV 1983) and \'Breakout\' (BBC 2008) In 1978, the bloody conflict in Northern Ireland, known as The Troubles, had reached a boiling point. Hundreds of members of the Irish Republican Army, determined to drive the hated British out of the province-killing soldiers and police, detonating bombs, while arming themselves with firearms and explosives-had been arrested and incarcerated in the notorious British prison known as the Maze. On Sunday, November 26, 1978, two IRA gunmen kicked in the front door at 8 Evelyn Gardens in Belfast-the home of Maze prison official Albert Miles. They executed Miles in front of his horrified family and vanished into the night. In 1983, at the end of the longest and most-publicized trial in the country\'s history, twenty-four-year-old Catholic taxicab driver Kevin Barry Artt was convicted and sentenced to life for Miles\' murder. On his way to the Maze, in manacles and still professing his innocence, Artt prayed for an opportunity to escape. Six weeks later, his prayers were answered-he made a daring and dramatic escape from the Maze, fleeing to California and going underground. For decades, the British government, aided by the US Department of State and FBI, relentlessly sought him while he managed to stay just steps ahead of his pursuers. ABOVE THE GROUND: A True Story of The Troubles in Northern Ireland is a gripping chronicle of one of the darkest periods in Northern Ireland\'s history, highlighting themes of injustice, perseverance, and hope through Kevin\'s escape and struggle. A startling, memorable forensic account of British rule in Ireland. -SEAMUS DEANE, Irish historian, The Field Day Anthology of Irish Writing and Reading in the Dark Dan Lawton\'s book tells the whole story. And what a story-[in] riveting detail... remind[ing] us that every one of our lives can make a difference, and change happens in our fragile, broken world because that single person is willing to say, I am who I am. -ALAN ABRAHAMSON, Best-selling author, No
