The Battle of Bogside by Clive Limpkin

Clive Limpkin arrived in Derry on August `969, on the eve of the Battle of the bogside, as a photojournalist or the London Daily Sketch. He captured the turmoil of that period with intense reality and returned regularly over the next three years to record the city's descent into armed conflict as decades of discrimination and simmering discontent erupted onto the streets.

Some of Limpkin images from that time are now among the most iconic to emerge from the conflict in Ireland and will be instantly recognisable, others will be less familiar. This edition contains most of the original additions found in the first edition of this book along with twenty seven additions to complete his stunning new collection. It is a fitting testimony to Lumpkin's unique photographic account of the event in derry that shaped Ireland for decades afterwards.
