Description
Death on a Country Road by Desmond Fahy The story of two friends, Sean and Colm, who were killed by loyalist paramilitaries on their way home from a football match in 2006. Their bodies were found on a country road in rural Armagh, a few miles outside Newtownhamilton. This book is a vividly imagined re-creation of the time and circumstances of the murders, as well as an examination of their factual background. The murders were significant because they marked the first time the GAA had been targeted by terrorists in such a public and blatant way. The incident had a lasting impact on the community, leading to further attacks on its members over the next two decades. This book reveals the human stories behind the headlines, as well as the inadequate official investigation that followed. At its core, this book is a story about two friends who lost their lives on a country road in rural Armagh. It is a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of the human cost of violence and the importance of remembering those who have been lost.
