Say Nothing: A True Story Of Murder and Memory In Northern Ireland

Very gripping book

Book was in good condition. Delivery was as per schedule. The book is very engrossing. Definitely worth reading.

“Say Nothing” is a fascinating non-fiction that reads like a thriller novel. The struggles for a United Ireland, the violent struggle in the Northern Ireland, the British retaliation, rise and popularity of IRA, it’s brutal attacks on civilians, it’s acts of “disappearing” people perceived as informers, the huge divide between Catholics and Protestants, rise of political party Sien Fein, tortures by the British government and enormous bravery of IRA fighters are so vividly and truly captured that the book becomes enlightening. A Must read!

Completely unputdownable, the narration was simply incredible. Even better than I thought it would be. This book is a combination of History and True crime Investigation. A must-read!

excellent binding,good cover,large font size very worth for this price

Gripping. Great writing on some terrible times of NI history. Dark, gory and morbid.

good service

exceptionally well told piece of narrative non-fiction.

A searing, meticulously developed, and essential historical work , a triumph of both rigorous reportage and literary artistry.

Great Item at a Good Price, Well Packed, Supper Fast Delivery, Thankyou.

Great book in perfect condition.

A book to add to my top list of recommendations. The characters and facts are well explained with all the nuances required for an immersion in the human drama and thus the personal misery to which a process of violent radicalisation leads. Entertaining to read to boot

This was the first book I read on the terrible war in Northern Ireland . The book is a non fiction book, but it is readable and exciting as a novel . It is one of the best book you will find that shows the human and moral side of war and IRA fighters . The book chronicles the history of some Ulster Catholics who, after having been mistreated by the English soldiers and the Protestant English citizens of user, decide to fight back . They become part of Ira, the Catholic guerrilla group which fight with terror attacks thé English occupiers . They accept the idea to die and kill for the freedom of Ulster and the Catholic freedom, but all the Irish protagonists become disillusioned . Some of the Irish protagonists become politicians and start negotiations with the British occupiers, in order to have a democracratic process and build peace between protestants and Catholics. Other protagonists become hardened fighters of the Ira, who fight against British soldiers and execute spies of the British intelligence. The problem is that these spies of the British are actually innocent people or people of the IRA who have broken certain rules of the terror group. The protagonists rationalize the guilt of having executed innocent people believing that they have killed informers of the British army, but probably the victims were only poor people who were caught in the war and were killed only for some stupid suspicion. This fact is a terrible burden for the IRA fighters and the book also expose how they dealt with the guilt of having killed innocent people during the war: some will remain silent about the crimes made by ira, other will speak about them. The end of the book is very sad and I felt very sad for all the terrible events this poor people lived only some decades ago . The author has written this book in a very engaging way and explains clearly the origins, political and psychological aspects of the Irish troubles and how people can find peace after a terrible war . I found disappointing only the fact that no British soldiers or officers, involved in the counter insurgency operations against Ira, were interviewed for the book. A British prospective about the events would have given more depth to the book .
