Recenzii

"A remarkable book" Mary Raftery, The Irish Times "He has articulated the grief and fear of something like 30,000 men and woman who will never forget the experiences they had. They have badly needed this unforgettable testimony. But we should all welcome it, and read it." Irish Independent "Vivid and deeply moving...one man's personal journey from an unforgiving past to an uncertain future" Dr Michael Kennedy, RIA, Executive Editor, Documents on Irish Foreign Policy "The authenticity and simple eloquence of this work makes it compelling, if dark, reading. The text cries out to Heaven! It holds up a mirror to official Ireland, the Irish state and the Catholic Church...Read it, and weep." Professor Dermot Keogh "This harrowingly honest book could never have been published in Tyrrell's lifetime. The least we owe to his memory is not to ignore it now." Dermot Bolger, Sunday Business post
