Surviving The Madness

Beschreibung

"Those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell." Paul Doyle has not just been a thorn in the side, more like a thicket bush to the face of the authorities, organised crime gangs and hooligan football ¿rms across Europe, not to mention to a torturous drug lord who has wanted him dead for over three decades. This book tells the extraordinary tale of a boy left to rot in the penal system whose harsh experiences turned him into a man who feared no one, but was feared by many. A street ¿ghter who became a well recognised head of Manchester's underworld. Whose life was packed with death defying experiences, savage encounters and brutal violence. From the bleak cobbled streets of Salford, to the Cannabis hub of the world - Amsterdam. This is an astonishing account of one epic journey to the top table of organised crime.

Autor

Paul Doyle has very severe disabilities. He went to two special schools. He learnt all the basics at his first school and he did quite well, having lots of friends. The teachers at his second school did not think that he could learn. He came out of school with no qualifications whatsoever. He was the first student to go to a mainstream college who had to have a one-to-one personal assistant. After obtaining five GCSE, he gained 'A' Levels in Psychology and Sociology. He has a B.Sc. and an M.Sc. in Psychology. Now he has a Ph.D. For his fieldwork he did advocacy with young people with very similar disabilities to himself. Paul talked to young people about his own experiences of the trying transition from special education to mainstream education.
