Susan McKay’s
book explores the difficult aftermath of the violence for families, friends and
communities. By interviewing those who loved the missing and the dead, as well
as some who narrowly survived, McKay gives a voice to those who are too often
overlooked in the political histories. She has found grief and rage, as well as
forgiveness. Some long to forget, others cannot rest until they find out the
truth. Some demand a measure of justice. They face formidable odds, for there
are those with strong interests in keeping parts of the history of the Troubles
in the dark. The devolved government in Northern Ireland is working towards a
new future for all the people. This book is a moving and important contribution
to that process. Only by confronting the brutality of the past can there be any
hope that the dead may finally be laid to rest.
