Her disappearance would haunt her orphaned children, the perpetrators of this terrible crime and a whole society in Northern Ireland for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e          \u003cp\u003eIn this powerful, scrupulously reported book, Patrick Radden Keefe offers not just a forensic account of a brutal crime but a vivid portrait of the world in which it happened. The tragedy of an entire country is captured in the spellbinding narrative of a handful of characters, presented in lyrical and unforgettable detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e          \u003cp\u003eA poem by Seamus Heaney inspires the title: 'Whatever You Say, Say Nothing'. By defying the culture of silence, Keefe illuminates how a close-knit society fractured; how people chose sides in a conflict and turned to violence; and how, when the shooting stopped, some ex-combatants came to look back in horror at the atrocities they had committed, while others continue to advocate violence even today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e          \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSay Nothing\u003c\/em\u003e deftly weaves the stories of Jean McConville and her family with those of Dolours Price, the first woman to join the IRA as a front-line soldier, who bombed the Old Bailey when barely out of her teens; Gerry Adams, who helped bring an end to the fighting, but denied his own IRA past; Brendan Hughes, a fearsome IRA commander who turned on Adams after the peace process and broke the IRA's code of silence; and other indelible figures. By capturing the intrigue, the drama and the profound human cost of the Troubles, the book presents a searing chronicle of the lengths that people are willing to go to in pursuit of a political ideal, and the ways in which societies mend - or don't - in the aftermath of a long and bloody conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Radden Keefe, Patrick","offers":[{"title":"Good","offer_id":49246843666771,"sku":"XG80008159252","price":14.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Like New","offer_id":52695223304531,"sku":"XE80008159252","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":51493652169043,"sku":"XV80008159252","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"New","offer_id":51493652201811,"sku":"9780008159252","price":49.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/radden-keefe-patrick-patrick-radden-keefe-say-nothing-2018-hardback-xg80008159252-58414048346451.jpg?v=1767188698","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.pro\/products\/say-nothing-a-true-story-of-murder-and-memory-in-northern-ireland","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
