Hillsborough Voices by Kevin Sampson
On 15 April 1989, the world witnessed one of the worst football disasters in history occur at the Hillsborough Stadium in Sheffield. Not only was he there as a fan to witness the horror first-hand, he also helped organise the Hillsborough benefit concert at Anfield and has close connections with the justice campaign.
"A harrowing but sensitively handled account of the disaster and a powerful tribute" * Sunday Telegraph *
"A testament to the courage, compassion, dignity and sheer persistence of the bereaved families, survivors and campaigners..at times unbearably moving" * When Saturday Comes *
"Sampson stands back, using his craft to construct a narrative that gives the individual stories space and respect, whilst simultaneously enabling the bigger picture to emerge" * London School of Economics *
"A powerful, important book - heartbreaking and rage-inducing. It is vital that these voices are heard" -- Brian Reade
"Superb" -- Adrian Tempany
