Summary:

"Over 3,500 people were killed during the conflict that began in the north of Ireland in 1969 and lasted for another thirty years. 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."--BOOK JACKET.
