Veronica Guerin: The Life and Death of a Crime Reporterby Emily Oreilly
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:On June 26, 1996, the Sunday Independent's crime reporter Veronica Guerin was shot dead by a motorcycle passenger as she waited at traffic lights on the outskirts of Dublin—the victim of her own crusading exposes of leading criminals. Her death profoundly shocked the country. The President attended her funeral, tributes were paid to her in parliament, and hundreds of bouquets of flowers were placed in her memory by members of the public. Within a month new anti-crime measures had been introduced and two of the leading murder suspects had fled the country. While Guerin was hailed as a heroine, the Sunday Independent denied any culpability in her death. Emily O'Reilly's book exposes the frightening moral bankruptcy of the media and the devastating consequences of this—for the individual and for society. Synopsis:Victoria Guerin, a young crime reporter with the "Sunday Independent", was shot dead in Dublin in June 1996 as a direct consequence of her work - investigating the shadowy figures of Dublin's underworld. This is an account of one of the biggest and most shocking of Irish news stories. What Our Readers Are SayingBe the first to add a comment for a chance to win!Product Details
