一群香港法律工作者對48位於天安門親歷六四事件的目擊者，包括學生，記者等，取錄他們在六月四日前後的第一身經歷，忠實地紀錄下來結集成書。四十八名見證者中，記者佔二十四人，學生佔十五人，餘下九人包括商人，專業人士及遊客。這些提供資料的見證人大部份是毫無聯繫，但當這些資料綜合起來時，可組成一幅完整的圖像，重塑當天在天安門發生的歷史事件。經過番覆核對和謹慎翻譯後，有關聲明及證詞以中英文結集面世。
A group of legal workers in Hong Kong collected 48 eyewitnesses of the June 4 incident in Tiananmen Square, including students and journalists, and recorded their first-hand experiences around June 4, and faithfully recorded them into a book. Among the 48 witnesses, 24 were journalists, 15 were students, the remaining nine were businessmen, professionals and tourists. Most of the witnesses who provided information were unconnected, but when combined, their accounts can form a complete picture and reconstruct the historical events that took place in Tiananmen that day. After repeated checks and careful translation, the relevant statements and testimonies were published in both Chinese and English.
