More than almost any recent crime, the killing of two-year-old
James Bulger shocked and horrified all those who witnessed its
unfolding on security camera footage. The discovery that the
killers were but boys themselves forced a national (and
international) self-examination: what kind of society could breed
such a monstrous act? Reporter Mark Thomas tells the story of this
unthinkable crime and its aftermath. He asks the questions: How did
it happen? and How can we make sure it will never happen again?
Based on exclusive interviews with the Bulger family and many
others involved with the case, Mark Thomas writes a sensitive and
thought-provoking account of one of the most heartbreaking
tragedies of recent memory.
