One of the most momentous periods of the troubles
On 5 January 1969 the words "You Are Now Entering Free Derry" were painted on the gable end of a house in the Bogside. Then just a slogan on a neighbourhood wall, it is now a monument to one of the most momentous periods in the history of Derry, and of Northern Ireland.

It was a period of very great change, and also one of very visible change. Since the events of 5 October 1968 the world's media had descended on Derry and every protest march, every riot became world news. Local photographer Barney McMonagle joined the media on the streets of Free Derry, taking over 1,000 photographs between 1968 and 1971. The civil rights marches, the Battle of the Bogside, the arrival of the British army, all are vividly recalled within the pages of this book, bringing back into sharp focus a time when Derry was the catalyst for change throughout Northern Ireland.
