El. knyga: Defiance: Racial Injustice, Police Brutality, A Sister's Fight for the Truth

The word 'defiance' encapsulates the spirit, courage and determination of Janet Alder. She is a tour de force who has fought for over 25 years to expose the brutality suffered both in life and death by her brother Christopher . . . Janet Alder refused to be broken, refused to be silenced and in this book she exposes the structural racism that still lies at the core of the Britain's institutions. -- Brian Richardson, Barrister This book has it all. And we need to read it all, feel it all. Then take it all to others. I've known Janet from early days. Her story of struggle against almighty odds reflects the story of our times, both inside and outside the justice system. She is far from alone and currently, for example, stands alongside the victims of Hillsborough, Bloody Sunday, Infected Blood, the Post Office Scandal, Covid and now, of course, Grenfell. The tide is strong. -- Michael Mansfield KC Defiance is one of those books that it's impossible to put down. It is indeed an extraordinary account and a total indictment of the policing and criminal injustice system in this country. It should be compulsory reading for every police officer and police staff member across Britain and everywhere. -- Professor Gus John, veteran anti-racist educationalist whose campaigning helped lead to the 1968 Race Relations Act
