Blood in the Street

First published in 1972, this book was written in the immediate aftermath of Bloody Sunday. On January 30, 1972, Italian photojournalist Fulrio Grimaldi and his English partner Susan North joined an anti-internment March in Derry, to photograph and record a day that wasn't thought to be particularly out of the ordinary. Within hours, thirteen civilians lay dead, a further thirteen injured. This unashamedly partisan account of that day ("impartially didn't even cross our minds... we belonged to the running and screaming and falling and dying") brings back into stark reality the horror of Bloody Sunday.
