'A riveting and important read, forensically documenting the state's
failings while also relating the traumatic human fallout for a whole
community for whom life would never be the same again' - Mick Clifford
'Meticulously compiled and unflinching yet sensitive, [this is] an
exceptional record of a story that should never have happened' - Irish
Independent 'A gripping page-turner, deftly balancing information,
analysis and human story [and] offers a single location where we can
go to get our heads around one of the worst disasters in recent Irish
history' - The Irish Times In 1981, the Stardust nightclub in Dublin
was a beacon for the city's nightlife - until it became a nightmare.
On that fateful Valentine's Day the dance floor became a scene of
horror, as flames engulfed the venue, claiming the lives of 48 young
people and leaving the survivors scarred forever. In this gripping
account the harrowing true story is revealed, citing new evidence
brought forward during recent inquests in the relentless pursuit of
justice. Through the eyes of the survivors, the families and
investigators, compiled with meticulous research and compassionate
portrayals of their voices, this poignant book honours the memories of
those who were lost, while shedding light on the tragedy that still
shocks the nation to this day.
