Her disappearance would haunt her orphaned children, the perpetrators of the brutal crime and a whole society in Northern Ireland for decades. Through the unsolved case of Jean McConville's abduction, Patrick Radden Keefe tells the larger story of the Troubles, investigating Dolours Price, the first woman to join the IRA, who bombed the Old Bailey; Gerry Adams, the politician who helped end the fighting but denied his IRA past; and Brendan Hughes, an IRA commander who broke their code of silence. A gripping story forensically reported, Say Nothing explores the extremes people will go to for an ideal, and the way societies mend – or don’t – after long and bloody conflict. ‘10 Best Books of 2019’ – The New York Times, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, Slate, NPR’s Fresh Air ‘Best History Book of 2019’ – Amazon ‘10 Best Nonfiction Books of 2019’ – TIME ‘10 Best Nonfiction Books of the Decade’ – Entertainment Weekly ‘20 Best Nonfiction Books of the Decade’ – Literary Hub ‘10 Best True Crime Books of the Decade’ – CrimeReads
