Stephen Travers was an exceptionally lucky survivor of the Miami Showband Massacre near Newry in July 1975, when three members of the band were brutally shot in the middle of the night on their way back from a gig near Banbridge.
An appalling part of this sickening story is the likelihood that the British Army had a hand in the killings as part of their 'dirty war' to try to discredit the I.R.A.
Stephen Travers emerges as someone with a remarkable and admirable capacity for forgiveness, and wishes to meet U.V.F. leaders who had a part in killing his friends. The meeting is brokered by Rev.Chris Hudson* as intermediary, in his church in Belfast, and Chapters 20 and 21 are un-put-downable for Unitarians who know Chris well from his Dublin days. And our respect and admiration for Chris must rise when we see what marvellous work of this kind he is doing.
Do buy the book. You won't be disappointed
