Lost Lives
by David McKittrick
In a way, this is the most shocking book I’ve ever opened. At its heart lies a list that starts No 1: June 11, 1966, and gives the name of the first man to be killed in the Troubles, and then lists 3,697 individuals who lost their lives in the violence that followed. The last death recorded in my edition (the third) was on November 21, 2003. Each chapter covers one year of the Troubles, and is introduced with penetrating quotations and facts, adding context and insight.
