Do you know how to... survive a bear attack? Make fire from virtually nothing? Fly a plane in an emergency? Survive in the most
...Nearly 4, 000 people were killed over the thirty or so years of the Northern Irish Troubles. & the killings were as intimate as they were brutal. Neighbours murdered neighbours. Susan Mc Kay's book explores the difficult legacy of this conflict for families, friends & communities. By interviewing those who loved the missing & the dead, as well as some who narrowly survived, Mc Kay gives a voice to those who are too often overlooked in the political histories. Old enemies are now in government together in Belfast, & the killing has all but stopped, but peace can only endure if the dead can finally be laid to rest. Bear in Mind These Dead is a moving & important contribution to that process.
