Description
"Following one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in British legal history, "Mr. Bates vs The Post Office" was created with direct input from the innocent, and indomitable, people caught up in it. When money started to seemingly disappear from its local branches, the government-owned Post Office wrongly blamed their own managers for theft and fraud, and many were even sent to prison -- leaving lives, marriages, and reputations in ruins. But the issue was actually caused by errors in the Post Office's own computer system -- something it denied for years. Revealing a shocking David vs. Goliath fight for justice, this is the story of the decent ordinary people who were relentlessly pursued, coerced and controlled by a powerful corporation, and their ongoing battle, against seemingly insurmountable odds, to right so many horrific wrongs"--Container.
