In the Name of the Son: The Gerry Conlon Story

Gerry Conlon was elated and outspoken on the steps of the Old Bailey upon his release, but beneath the surface he was a shattered and broken man.

Wrongly convicted as an IRA bomber, he spent 15 years in an English jail for a crime he didn't commit; his father, who attempted to protest his arrest, was himself arrested and sentenced for the same crime, and tragically died in jail.

A psychiatrist and leading physician interviewed for this book, said Conlon was the worst case of post-traumatic stress he'd ever seen. 'In The Name Of The Son' is a viciously personal and compelling account of Conlon's extraordinary but short life following his imprisonment.
