Shows the extraordinary lengths to which Michael's family and friends have had to go to in order to gain recognition for his case and win his freedom. Explains how Liverpool Football Club have supported the calls for Michael's release, with the players wearing 'Free Michael Now' t-shirts and the Kop forming a mosaic before a Premier League match. Tells the story of Michael's two failed appeals, his extradition to the UK to serve out the rest of his sentence, and why the courts refused to accept the confession of another man. Michael will also talk about Jack Straw's handling of his case and his royal pardon in September 2009. The front cover will feature an exclusive, unseen picture of Michael Shields. There will be further exclusive images and family photos within the book MICHAEL SHIELDS: MY STORY is the first-hand account of the Liverpool fan whose dream trip to a Champions League final in Istanbul turned into a nightmare. After watching his beloved Reds win the European Cup in 2005, Shields' happiness turned to horror as he ended up behind bars convicted of an attack on a Bulgarian waiter that he did not commit. Now released and pardoned after more than four long years in prison, this book tells his untold story - of the battle to clear his name and the remarkable campaign staged by his family, friends and Liverpool Football Club to see justice done.
