"Masked intruders dragged Jean McConville, a 38-year-old widow and mother of 10, from her Belfast home in 1972. In this meticulously reported book—as finely paced as a novel—Keefe uses McConville's murder as a prism to tell the history of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Interviewing people on both sides of the conflict, he transforms the tragic damage and waste of the era into a searing, utterly gripping saga." —New York Times Book Review

"Reads like a novel. . . . Keefe is . . . a master of narrative nonfiction. . . . An incredible story."—Rolling Stone

A Best Book of the Year: The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, TIME, NPR, and more!

Jean McConville's abduction was one of the most notorious episodes of the vicious conflict known as The Troubles. 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.

Patrick 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.

From 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--Say Nothing conjures a world of passion, betrayal, vengeance, and anguish.

This is an amazing audio-book!! Both the book and the narrator are brilliant. This really is an invaluable insight into the troubles and the role key-figures have played in them.
But the author also is incredibly skilled in putting parts of the story as well as moral ambiguities back into perspective.

Brilliant!

This is one of the best books I’ve ever read. Couldn’t stop listening. Highly recommend.

So in-depth and important

As someone who knew very little about Ireland’s modern history, I found this book at the perfect spot between a historical account and an entertaining novel. It’s engaging but informative. The narrator accent is absolutely key to the experience. I enjoyed the gradual revealing of key facts to keep me hooked. And I liked the occasional poetic touches. The author is clearly sympathetic to the Irish cause but he’s fair to both sides of the argument.

Absolutely beautiful listen

Good book on the Irish history during that time with a few protagonists being the focus. Sadly it lacks some structure in the last third to bring it home with a cohesive narrative, but maybe that's just history

A pretty good introduction into the Troubles
