Veteran British journalists Peter Pringle and Philip Jacobson on this edition of Fresh Air. They've just collaborated on the new book Those Are Real Bullets: Bloody Sunday, Derry 1972, about the day 30 years ago when British paratroopers shot 27 unarmed Irish Catholic demonstrators in Derry, Ireland, killing 13 of them, wounding 14. Five were shot in the back. Since then the day has been known as Bloody Sunday. After a formal inquiry the British soldiers were exonerated. Pringle and Jacobson covered the massacre for The Sunday Times, conducting interviews in the days following. For their new book they reexamine the event and the days leading up to it using documents formerly classified by the British government. (Broadcast date: January 29, 2002)
