About this product

Product Information

This volume is filled with passion and violence, with humanity and inhumanity. It is the story of the Northern Ireland troubles; it is not concerned with political bickering but with the lives of those who have suffered and the deaths which have resulted from more than three decades of conflict. The authors - three of them Belfast-born and the fourth an American - are journalists. Over a seven-year period they examined every death which was directly caused by the troubles. Their research involved interviewing witnesses, scouring published material and drawing on a range of investigative sources to produce this study. The book traces the origins of the conflict from the firing of the first shots, through the carnage of the 1970s and 1980s and up to the republican and loyalist ceasefires and beyond. All the casualties are here: the RUC officer, the young soldier, the IRA volunteer, the loyalist paramilitary, the Catholic mother, the Protestant worker, the new-born baby.

  • horrifying book that you will struggle to finish

    this is an amazing book which in chronological order follows the death of everyone in the so called northern ireland troubles. will take you for ever to read covers some of the real tragedies in the wee province and even worse some of the ones we have forgotten about david mckittrick and his team have produced an amazing history book which is now impossible to buy have been reading it online for a while on a site i am not allowed to name but hard to borrow it for more than an hour would love to be able to download it in pdf or other format for computer/reader/iphone so in those quiet periods could just open my phone and read another week/deaths.

  • Lost Lives is well worth the money

    This is an incredible piece of meticulous journalism about an era many of whom are totally ignorant. My only criticism is the inflated price of such a book.
