Description
The Disappeared: A History of Forced Disappearances in Ireland 1798-1998 For over 200 years, forced disappearances have been a part of violent political conflicts in Ireland. This groundbreaking book sheds light on a dark chapter in Irish history, revealing the truth behind the practice and identifying all known victims over the last century. From the North King Street Massacre in 1916 to 2003, the author uncovers the stories of lives cut short and families left searching for answers. The book cuts through the myth and exaggeration surrounding the IRA, revealing a more sinister reality. The author's research has also helped locate several bodies of those long missing, including one that has already been recovered and given a proper burial. Behind each disappearance lies a human story, one that is preserved in this book. By examining the history of forced disappearances in Ireland, this book provides a nuanced understanding of the complex and often brutal nature of the country's conflicts.
