HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 июн 2024
- Belfast, 1972: Thirty-eight year-old Jean McConnville is abducted from her home as her children watch on in horror. For years, the crime haunts her community. In Say Nothing, award-winning New Yorker staff writer Patrick Radden Keefe reveals McConnville’s fate, interweaving her story with a larger account of the Troubles, the decades-long conflict in Northern Ireland. The harrowing book captures not just the facts of the protracted war but also how it bred a climate of fear, secrecy, and silence. Join Keefe and journalist Alex Kotlowitz as they discuss the powerful, long-lasting effects such an atmosphere can have on both the individual and the society.

Just finished this book today, what a great read. Anyone that’s interested in the troubles in Northern Ireland read it immediately.
Best book I’ve read in awhile, he’s a good writer I’ll be reading more of his books
I am glad you brought Jean's story to light . Godbless her. My nephew and my friend was killed after Jean. During that time, my nephew's funeral it was hard, as a family walking behind his coffin. Because many judged. But then, it was told the British government was involved. Just before his death, we losted my sister, his mum.
In those days, myself as young woman, it was tragic because many families were losted through the conflict but you needed to live there to understand how, horrific families suffered. Not only mine.
Godbless their souls.
Growing up in the American Southwest during the 60s and 70s civil rights era, I was absolutely clueless about the chaos in 'North of Ireland' at the time. Say Nothing is a hell of a history lesson of turbulent troubles.
Excellent
I think the Boston College archive of Dolores Price was used in the documentary "I, Dolores." The film credits state the interview was made on the condition it would be released after her death which sounds a lot like what Keefe was talking about in regards to the agreement Boston College originally promised to the interviewees.
Great Talk
And punt was our currency before the euro.😄
Great book too!
Peter Gardiner Yes, I read it last summer. Well, audiobooked it. The subject matter is close to our family. Patrick got it right. Period.
@@ToldAlthea Appreciate it. So his logical conclusion is correct in your opinion?
Peter Gardiner Decades of “no answers”. He at least makes a good case.
Started out good. Wound up crap.
Up The Ra 👆🏾🇮🇪
.y beloved Ireland. Will you ever know peace?
omg just this week a news item "protesters sprayed by riot police in guess-where"
I recommend that any and all people interested in the history of and the future for Northern Ireland and the general question of Irish National Unity and an evaluation of the merits
of the Troubles read this book, and listen to this interview ....Excellent !
Why? The question of unification is nowhere discussed. Any understanding of current NI politics and the modern role of Sinn Fein is totally absent. Price, Brendan Hughes and those with whom Keefe talked to about Gerry Adams are dissident republicans who despised the peace process. They didn't call the Price sisters the Crazy Prices for nothing.
I find it interesting that the ex-combatants were willing to be so open with their crimes to Boston College. Did they not realize they were putting themselves in jeopardy by confessing their crimes?
Check 32.30ish....answers this qs
They have an agreement that their tapes will not be heard until after their death.
They were told that they tapes would not be played until after their death. That was not legal.
They did not. They were promised that their statements would not be published until after their death.
@@helenmooney2772 .....which was not legal.
Dumb comment here but how much does he look like Tarantino?
Is Tucker Carlson as smart as Keefe?
smarter.
@@robertwillett9204 How would you know? We all know you Fox watchers don't read....
Ulster is 💯🇬🇧
Up The Ra 👆🏾🇮🇪
Fasting???? It was a hunger strike. Dolores had a very rich, republican upbringing. Her father was in the IRA, so to say that she became radicalized during the human rights marches is not accurate. Makes me wonder about the accuracy of this book.
Have you read it ? It’s great and he explains the sisters upbringing
It's a load of it.
Beware. Much of it is crap.
Care to elaborate on specifics?
@@formzino If there was ANYTHING concerning Adams' IRA "membership" Adams would have been in prison years ago. The same goes for the McConville murder. That Keefe could have referred on one of the disappeared as "the dashing Robert Nairac" should be enough to tell you that Keefe is clueless. Nairac was a British army officer who worked in collusion with a unionist terrorist group--the Glenanne Gang--which committed over 100 murders for which no one has ever been brought to trial. Chapter 28 could have been written by the Democratic Unionist Party. The book is silly.
Guess he doesn’t want to elaborate
