Error of Judgement
The truth about the Birmingham bombings
On November 22 1974, the IRA planted bombs in two Birmingham pubs, killing 21 people and injuring almost 200 others. Six men convicted of the bombings were later found to be innocent.
Fifty years on Chris Mullin, describes how he tracked down the real bombers and the implications for British justice.
After the event he will be signing copies of his recently republished book, Error of Judgement.
