Book review: public inquiries: wrong route on Bloody Sunday by Louis Blom-Cooper

In Public Inquiries: Wrong Route on Bloody Sunday, Sir Louis Blom-Cooper QC argues that for much of the twentieth century public inquiries have been ill-focused and mishandled, with a particular focus on the Bloody Sunday Inquiry, chaired by Lord Saville. While the book’s insights are occasionally hampered by the recurrent emphasis placed on the individual influence of Lord Saville, it is impressive when advocating for a more focused role for public inquiries in contemporary Britain, finds Ryan Ross.
