About this listen

Former IRA man, Joe Doherty speaks about his arrest for the killing of SAS man, Herbert Westmacott, his escape during the trial and his journey as an on-the-run in America.


In his subsequent arrest he fought a 9-year-long extradition battle from a New York prison where he shared a cell with John Gotti and other leading mob figures as well as members of the Black Panther Movement. It’s an extraordinary tale told by the man himself.
