Trade ReviewA 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
