"Eyewitness Bloody Sunday is a definitive account of one of the greatest tragedies of the Northern Ireland troubles underlining the enormity and profundity of the events of that day… Don Mullan has done an invaluable service to the people… who have been tireless in pursuit of truth and justice"
- John Hume MP, 1998 Nobel Peace Prize winner

Within days of the killing of thirteen unarmed civilians and the wounding of fourteen others on Bloody Sunday, over 500 eyewitness testimonies were recorded for presentation to the Widgery Tribunal - but only 15 were considered. Officially ignored for more than two decades, Don Mullan published a hundred witness statements in the first edition of Eyewitness Bloody Sunday.

The book had a phenomenal and far-reaching impact, profoundly weakening the official version of the events of 30 January 1972.

According to BBC News: "The book Eyewitness Bloody Sunday… was crucial in bringing about the second inquiry into the events of Bloody Sunday." Similarly, Gerry Adams MP stated that "there can be no doubt that [the book's] revelations and new evidence contributed significantly to the British Government's belated decision to hold a public inquiry".

As well as giving a voice to the civilian demonstrators who witnessed the events of Bloody Sunday, Eyewitness Bloody Sunday exposed facts supporting the hypothesis that snipers in the vicinity of the old Derry Walls might have shot dead three of the victims.

The book also inspired the award-winning motion picture 'Bloody Sunday' which Mullan Co-Produced along with Director Paul Greengrass and Producer Mark Redhead. The movie won several international awards including 'Best Picture' at the Sundance Film Festival and the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival.
