Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review
They had been prosecuted by the Post Office using IT evidence from an unreliable computer system called Horizon. When the Post Office became aware that Horizon didn't work properly, it covered it up. Nick describes how disastrous failures of leadership, malicious corporate denial and conniving civil servants combined to ruin hundreds of lives over a two decade period. He also details how a group of Subpostmasters fought the government-owned Post Office through the courts to eventual victory. "An extraordinary journalistic expose of a huge miscarriage of justice” - Ian Hislop “A tale brilliantly told” - Rev Richard Coles "Nick Wallis's narrative has the power of a great thriller” - Dame Joan Bakewell
