PositiveThe Sunday Times (UK)What happened to McConville and the quest to find out who was responsible makes Patrick Radden Keefe’s remarkable book a gripping piece of non-fiction. This is an achievement in itself, but Say Nothing — breathtaking in its scope and ambition — is much more than that. A staff writer for The New Yorker, Radden Keefe has produced a searing examination of the nature of truth in war and the toll taken by violence and deceit. The result is a lyrically written work that will take its place alongside the best of the books about the Troubles, among them Ten Men Dead by David Beresford, Rebel Hearts by Kevin Toolis and Killing Rage by Eamon Collins ... By the end of this unrelenting, epic work, it is hard to feel optimistic.
