Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. Self-adulating ramblings of a narcissist of questionable credibility delivered in a self-righteous and moralizing tone. At the beginning of the book, there's a documentary mentioned called "Confessions", which came out shortly prior to this book. If you watch it (it's on YT), you'll see a man who's doing this for the sole purpose of being remembered. If you're in the mood for a clichee laden Farewell to Arms, read this.

This is an account of how an angry young man can cross the line that divides theoretical support for violence from a state of 'killing rage', in which the murder of neighbour becomes thinkable. Over 3000 people have died in Northern Ireland since 1969, and most of them have died at the hands of their neighbours. The intimacy of the Ulster conflict, what it means to carry out a political murder when in all probability the victim is personally known, or lives in a nearby street, is described accurately by an honest participant. The book does not attempt to soften the impact of the events it describes through euphemism or rhetoric. It is a truthful picture of the brutality and waste caused by the IRA's unwinnable campaign, and of its human consequences. It is also a self-portrait of the despair and disintegration, the hardening to conscience and grief, that accompany political violence. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
