Extraordinary. . .As in the most ingenious crime stories, Keefe unveils a revelation — lying, so to speak, in plain sight." — Maureen Corrigan, NPR From award-winning New Yorker staff writer Patrick Radden Keefe, a stunning, intricate narrative about a notorious killing in Northern Ireland and its devastating repercussions In December 1972, Jean McConville, a thirty-eight-year-old mother of ten, was dragged from her Belfast home by masked intruders, her children clinging to her legs. They never saw her again. Her 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. Review: Extraordinary Work - A searing, meticulously developed, and essential historical work , a triumph of both rigorous reportage and literary artistry. Review: Five Enthusiastic Stars - Say Nothing is at once a true crime/murder mystery; history of the Troubles mainly the IRA’s side. as seen through the eyes of Delours Price, Brendan Hughes, and Gerry Adams; character study, and political thriller all rolled into one. It reads like a novel because Radden Keefe does such a fantastic job allowing the reader to get to know the main characters; there is never a dull moment in the book. The book begins with the disappearance of Jean McConville, a 38-year-old widow and mother of ten, on December 7, 1972. From there, the history of the Troubles comes into focus, with the violence beginning in the mid-1960s, even though as Radden Keefe points out the strife in Northern Ireland didn’t begin at that time. The IRA’s violent wing, the Provisionals, as opposed to the Stickies, emerged during that time, as the IRA had been in existence long before, with some of the Provos coming from a long line of IRA family members. Say Nothing pierces into the nature of the human condition and political power. The Troubles serve as a sort of microcosm of the general nature of political violence in the name of a cause. Does anything justify innocent people been killed in the name of a cause? ## Features - From award-winning New Yorker staff writer Patrick Radden Keefe, a stunning, intricate narrative about a notorious killing in Northern Ireland and its devastating repercussions ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #22,764 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1 in European Politics Books #2 in Terrorism (Books) #4 in Murder & Mayhem True Accounts | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 19,298 Reviews | ## Images ![Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91bKUYyjjpL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extraordinary Work *by M***O on May 24, 2026* A searing, meticulously developed, and essential historical work , a triumph of both rigorous reportage and literary artistry. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Enthusiastic Stars *by D***N on April 9, 2026* Say Nothing is at once a true crime/murder mystery; history of the Troubles mainly the IRA’s side. as seen through the eyes of Delours Price, Brendan Hughes, and Gerry Adams; character study, and political thriller all rolled into one.

Book shipped quickly and otherwise was in great shape. I don’t know how this hasn’t been optioned as a limited series or film. It’s an important history and the writing is so engrossing I’m almost done after starting just last night. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/103280513-say-nothing-a-true-story-of-murder-and-memory-in](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/103280513-say-nothing-a-true-story-of-murder-and-memory-in) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-25*
