The Sterling Redemption by James Edmiston
Story of the company notable for manufacturing one of the most famous sub-machine guns ever produced. The Sterling had seen limited use in the Second World War and by 1953 had been formally adopted by the British Army. Follows a period of more than 25 years starting with the sudden and unimaginable accusation of illegal arms dealing.
The Sterling Redemption' is not a crime thriller but a true story of alleged skulduggery and, possibly, criminal acts in the form of perverting the course of justice by the authorities and it should be bedside reading for everybody who believes in the rule of lawTrue, James has received compensation. But how do you compensate a person for the destruction of his career, the loss of his home and marriage? It is a truly shocking story, and the troubling part is that it is likely to be repeated unless the Scott Inquiry is taken off the shelf, and some of its lessons learned.'The Sterling Redemption' is written in narrative style by Edmiston, and Lawrence Kormornick, who acted for him; it is an easy read and not long. It has been written in succession to 'The Sterling Years: Small Arms and the Men', telling the story described above, James' account of the seizure, his trial, the Scott Inquiry and his fight for compensation. But to lawyers it is the underlying story of miscarriage of justice exposed that will be both fascinating and outrageous. The Law Society Gazette
