"I didn't just lose my job. I lost my reputation, my livelihood, and very nearly my mind."

For years, the British Post Office was an institution built on trust and community. Pete Murray was one of the ordinary people who kept it running, working as a dedicated SubPostmaster running branches in Wallasey and Great Sutton. But everything changed when the notorious Horizon IT software began generating phantom financial shortfalls.

Instead of investigating the technology, the Post Office blamed the people. Overnight, hard-working managers were transformed from trusted community anchors into suspects. Facing relentless pressure, audit interrogations, and a nightmarish fight against a ruthless corporate Goliath, Pete's raw and intimate memoir takes readers behind the counter and into the heart of one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in modern British history.

From his colorful life and travels prior to the storm to the claustrophobic panic of the Horizon nightmare and the grueling battle for truth, The Making & Breaking of a SubPostmaster is written with sharp wit, emotional honesty, and unflinching candor. It is more than just an insider's account of a national scandal—it is a powerful testament to human resilience, survival, and the enduring search for truth when the world tells you you're wrong.
