Astounding. One part political thriller, one part murder mystery, one part history of the IRA during the Troubles, and one part psychological examination of everything from social memory/collective denial to national identity formation to the ethics of political violence, Patrick Redden Keefe kept this moving at an almost propulsive pace. I simply could not put it down and continued to think about it long after. I was struck more than anything by how recently the Troubles ended, and given how history in contested spaces like NI tends to remain in the present, the reliving of the past here feels particularly apt. An absolutely stunning work of nonfiction. Don't miss it.
