Everyone in the neighborhood knew the I.R.A. was responsible. But in a climate of fear and paranoia, no one would speak of it. In 2003, five years after an accord brought an uneasy peace to Northern Ireland, a set of human bones was discovered on a beach. McConville's children knew it was their mother when they were told a blue safety pin was attached to the dress--with so many kids, she had always kept it handy for diapers or ripped clothes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePatrick Radden Keefe's mesmerizing book on the bitter conflict in Northern Ireland and its aftermath uses the McConville case as a starting point for the tale of a society wracked by a violent guerrilla war, a war whose consequences have never been reckoned with. The brutal violence seared not only people like the McConville children, but also I.R.A. members embittered by a peace that fell far short of the goal of a united Ireland, and left them wondering whether the killings they committed were not justified acts of war, but simple murders.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom radical and impetuous I.R.A. terrorists such as Dolours Price, who, when she was barely out of her teens, was already planting bombs in London and targeting informers for execution, to the ferocious I.R.A. mastermind known as The Dark, to the spy games and dirty schemes of the British Army, to Gerry Adams, who negotiated the peace but betrayed his hardcore comrades by denying his I.R.A. past--\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eSay Nothing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e conjures a world of passion, betrayal, vengeance, and anguish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eLook for Patrick Radden Keefe's latest bestseller,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003eEmpire of Pain.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sourcebooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47101620420849,"sku":null,"price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/9757\/8890\/files\/say.jpg?v=1734555777","url":"https:\/\/shopsouthandpine.com\/products\/say-nothing-a-true-story-of-murder-and-memory-in-northern-ireland-by-patrick-radden-keefe-hardcover","provider":"South \u0026 Pine and Blue Apple Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
