A Caped Crusade by Matt O’Connor – Coming April 2015
Matt O’Connor’s second book about the Fathers4Justice campaign he started in 2001, is a candid account about O’Connor’s life and the behind the scenes challenges facing the campaign and his family over the last 14 years. Fearless, controversial and impossible to ignore, O’Connor describes the political wheeler-dealing that led to Fathers4Justice winning cross-party support for shared parenting. From securing George Galloway’s assistance in the House of Commons to the endorsement of Nigel Farage, UKIP and MPs from right across the political spectrum, O’Connor explains the deeply personal reasons that motivate him in his pursuit of equal rights for fathers. He also details for the first time the true story behind the Conservatives betrayal of their 2010 election promises and the terrifying campaign of politically motivated intimidation that forced his family to leave their home in Hampshire. A Caped Crusade is an inspiring, gripping story that shows how any father with enough determination can still make a difference.
