A powerful new non-fiction book, Why the Face? Hillsborough: The Third Injustice by Anthony Marlow offers a deeply personal and investigative examination of the Hillsborough disaster and its long and troubling aftermath. More than three decades after the tragedy, this book makes clear why Hillsborough remains unresolved and why the search for truth and accountability still matters today.
Unlike conventional accounts that rely on summaries and official conclusions, Why the Face? Hillsborough: The Third Injustice is grounded in lived experience. Anthony Marlow was there. His perspective brings readers closer to the reality of the day and, crucially, to what followed. The book explores not only the disaster itself, but the years of institutional resistance, unanswered questions, and disputed evidence that shaped the fight for justice.
Central to the book is the concept of the third injustice. The first was the loss of life. The second was the wrongful blame placed on supporters. The third injustice, as Marlow defines it, lies in the suppression, distortion, and disappearance of critical evidence long after the tragedy itself. Through careful reflection and investigation, the book examines how truth can be delayed and how that delay deepens harm for families, survivors, and witnesses.
It is not a book about sensationalism or shock. It is a measured and focused account that restores humanity to those affected by the Hillsborough tragedy. Moving beyond statistics and official language, it brings attention back to individual lives, personal memory, and the lasting impact of being unheard. It also places Hillsborough within wider discussions about state accountability, policing oversight, and human rights, making it relevant far beyond football or Britain alone.
Anthony Marlow writes with clarity and restraint, allowing the weight of events and evidence to speak for themselves. His work challenges readers to reflect on how institutions respond when they are questioned and what justice truly means when time has passed, yet the truth remains incomplete.
Why the Face? Hillsborough: The Third Injustice is a must-read for those interested in true crime, social justice, investigative journalism, and modern British history. It is also a vital contribution for anyone who believes that accountability does not expire and that truth deserves persistence.
