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

by Janet Alder with Dan Glazebrook - £25.00  Dialogue Books (2024)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9780349702858 | ISBN 10: 0349702853

‘This is a story – among many others – of justice denied. Fighting this battle over the past quarter of a century has been a lesson in collusion, cover-up and all the sophisticated – as well as the crude – methods employed by different parts of the British state to maintain the status quo, protect itself and those in its employ and evade justice . . . This book is my attempt to bring some kind of accountability, simply by telling the truth.‘
 
The police killing of Christopher Alder was one of the most notorious deaths in custody in the UK, involving the destruction of evidence, a whitewash of an investigation and illegal surveillance.
 
Christopher’s sister Janet has been relentlessly fighting for justice for decades, and fearlessly holds the UK’s state institutions to account in this extraordinary book.
 
This book is a probing expose of what went on, based on exhaustive documentary evidence, as well as the personal story of Janet’s fight to uncover the truth.
