The Post Office Horizon IT Scandal

The first forensic account of how the Post Office, the British government and a global IT company ruined the lives of thousands of innocent people. Private Eye tells the story of the political, institutional, professional and personal failures, written in the hope that the lessons of the Post Office scandal will guard against such abuses in future. With a foreword by Sir Alan Bates.
