[English version below] Insint líofa léir atá sa leabhar seo ar eachtra staire atá greanta go glé fós i ndaonchuimhne an phobail lenar bhain sí. Baineann croí an scéil le crochadh éagórach agus príosúnú saoil ar dhaoine neamhchiontacha bunaithe ar fhianaise bhréige, ar bhrathadóirí, agus ar mhímhacántacht na n-údarás agus na n-uaisle. Dúnmharuithe barbartha i ndorchadas na hoíche i bpobal iargúlta i nDúiche Sheoighe, ar an teorainn idir Gaillimh agus Maigh Eo, sa bhliain 1882, a thionscain na himeachtaí uile. Níl críoch fós le hiarmhairtí an tsléachta sin agus ní bheidh fad a mhaireann daoine a chreideann go bhfuil admháil oifigiúil tuillte i gcónaí i gcás go n-aithnítear éagóir dhlíthiúil nó iomrall ceartais. Insint úrnua í seo ar iomlán an scéil le pictiúir stairiúla agus taifid oifigiúla nár foilsíodh cheana i bhfoirm leabhair. Láithreoir: Róisín Adams Aíonna: Cormac Ó Gráda agus Mícheál Hoyne [Leagan Gaeilge thuas] This book is a clear and polished account of an historical event which is still vividly ingrained in the memories of those connected to it. The saga centres around the wrongful hanging and life imprisonment of innocent men as a result of false evidence, betrayal, and the dishonesty of the authorities. It began in 1882 with barbaric murders in the dark of night in an isolated community in Joyce Country, on the Galway-Mayo border. The impact of that slaughter will endure as long as people believe that an official admission of the miscarriage of justice is required. This accomplished narrative is enhanced by historical images and official records, many of which are published here for the first time.
