Post Office Scandal and Me : My Extraordinary Fight for Justice - Winner of the 2025 Speakies Audiobook Award for Non-Fiction

The extraordinary memoir from Jo Hamilton, a victim at the very heart of the Post Office/Horizon scandal

<p><b>WITH A FOREWORD FROM SIR ALAN BATES</b><br><b><br>'A story of decency and courage in the face of a shameful miscarriage of justice', Lorraine Kelly</b><br><b><br>'Incredible', <i>The Times</i></b><br><br> Jo Hamilton was one of more than 700 sub-postmasters prosecuted between 2000 and 2014 based on information from the Post Office's faulty Horizon accounting system. She was told to put right a wrong she hadn't committed and pushed to the very brink of her existence - remortgaging her house, borrowing from anyone she could in order to repay money that she hadn't taken, and questioning her own sanity.<br><br> Immortalised in ITV smash hit drama, <i>Mr Bates v The Post Office</i>, this is Jo Hamilton's extraordinary first-hand account of how she built a Post Office that was at the very heart of her community and lost it all through no fault of her own. For the first time, beyond the headlines and the corridors of the Old Bailey and the UK's political institutions, we will finally hear Jo's full story and the human side of this scandal as well as the untold struggle she faced during the biggest miscarriages of justice in modern history. Ultimately, this is a story of hope and the strength of community and the ability of a few to fight back against the odds.</p>
