Burnt Out by Michael Mccann
On 14 August 1969, at the age of 14, Michael McCann and his family fled their home. Thousands of innocent people were driven out by the initial pogrom and then by the ongoing campaign of expulsion by loyalist violence and intimidation. The British army occupation and the continuing violence utterly devastated communities on a monumental scale.
A native of West Belfast, Michael McCann experienced the events of August 1969 at first hand. He brings an intimate and unrivalled local knowledge to this study. Furthermore, McCann has personally gathered over thirty retrospective eyewitness interviews during his exhaustive research, which included the first and only in-depth analysis of the evidence gathered for the Scarman tribunal, augmented by hitherto undiscovered or occluded state and legal archives, copies of which are in the possession of the author. Michael holds a degree and Masters in History from Queen’s University Belfast
