A Young Life Stolen is a deeply personal tribute to a murdered brother and son. This is Gerry’s memoir about growing up in Belfast as a city fell into the grip of fear and hate. Paul Armstrong was abducted and murdered in 1974 and in the decades since, Gerry and his family have searched and fought for truth and justice – to no avail.
This memoir relives the happy innocence of youth, mischievous teenagers living through their school lives not fully aware of the impending terror and tragedy that is closing in on their city and their streets. When the brutality of the Troubles strikes, the lives of families are shattered forever.
Gerry is well known for his tremendous efforts to ensure that Paul is never forgotten, and that the questions around his murder and the police investigation into it, continue to be voiced.
