50 years since Bloody Sunday

[Brianbrewed]

50th anniversary has recently passed.

BBC History Extra have an excellent interview with historian Diarmaid Ferriter on the lead-up, consequences and effects of the event.
Well worth a listen to if you are interested in recent British/Irish history.

This is also good, it gives insight into event's leading up to the troubles. I actually found it all very sad. Bloody Sunday had a major impact on Derry, the effects are still felt today.

Hope you enjoyed it (or found it educational).
I like how he runs parallels with Bloody Sunday in Dublin, during the War of Independence.
Also the way he puts the Civil Rights marches into their international context.

Have listened to this one yet (probably will on the way home from work).

The excellent Warfare Podcast interviews Julieann Campbell (her uncle was one of the first to die that day).

Apparently she has a new book out, ‘On Bloody Sunday: A New History Of The Day And Its Aftermath – By The People Who Were There’

Quite a good article on the events leading up to and on the day.
a dark day for all English and Irish.
this wasn’t war or terrorism it was murder.

Still so many people out there believe that the army opened fire on terrorists shooting at them.
