Whilst the bombers congratulated themselves on escaping justice, the families determined on a civil case against them and their organisation. No one had ever done this before. How these mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers turned themselves into the scourge of the Real IRA is not just as astonishing story in itself. It is a universal story of David challenging Goliath, as wel as an inspiration to ordinary people anywhere devastated by terrorism.* This is a NEAR FINE copy of the 1st./1st. fnl. with minimal age & shelf wear reducing it to VG.*
