Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland by Patrick Radden Keefe

dark emotional informative reflective fast-paced

5.0

Book was extremely well written. He did an amazing job of retelling the events as well as bringing to life those involved. This book is centered around the IRA and actions taken from this group as well as stating that it hasn’t covered loyalist terrorism. My only suggestion is if you are interested in the troubles this isn’t the first book you should read. The troubles themselves are very nuanced and this book focuses on a small aspect of a large problem that spanned well before this time period.
