Say Nothing

A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland
Book • 2018
The book delves into the bitter conflict in Northern Ireland and its aftermath, focusing on the lives of key figures such as Dolours Price, Brendan Hughes, Gerry Adams, and Jean McConville's children.

It explores the civil rights movement, the Provisional IRA's bombing campaign, the 1981 hunger strike, the peace process, and the post-conflict struggle to understand crimes like McConville's murder.

The narrative also incorporates the Belfast Project, a secret oral history endeavor that collected stories from former IRA members.

The book is a panoramic history that captures the complexities and tragic consequences of the Troubles.
