Join New York Irish Center for an evening of conversation with author Julieann Campbell and moderator Cahir O'Doherty (Irish Voice), who's new book, On Bloody Sunday, presents the story 50 years on, from those who were there.

In January 1972, a peaceful civil rights march in Northern Ireland ended in bloodshed. Troops from Britain’s 1st Battalion Parachute Regiment opened fire on unarmed marchers, leaving 13 dead and 18 wounded. Another died later. Seven of those killed were teenage boys. The day became known as ‘Bloody Sunday’. On Bloody Sunday is the first ever complete oral history of one of Ireland's darkest episodes. It includes exclusive interviews, access to rare tapes and material published for the first time.
