The stories of the innocent; the survivors and those left behind, who paid the price of terrorism in Northern Ireland

To a Dark Place Zusammenfassung

To a Dark Place: Experiences from Survivors of the Troubles Ken Wharton

Between 1969 and 1998, over 4,000 people lost their lives in the small country of Northern Ireland. The vast majority of these deaths were sectarian in nature and involved ordinary civilians, killed by the various paramilitary groups. These organisations murdered freely and without remorse, considering life a cheap price to pay in the furtherance of their cause. The words 'Why us?' were uttered by many families whose lives were ripped asunder by The Troubles.

Thousands of innocents received a life sentence at the hands of the terrorists; these, then, are their words, the words of those who survived such attacks, and of those left behind. These poignant and tragic stories come from the people who have been forced to live with the emotional shrapnel of terrorism.

To a Dark Place Bewertungen

Ken Wharton's epic history of the black days in Northern Ireland is both stark and sensitive. We all owe him a great debt for his dedication to keeping the memory of the Troubles alive.

-- Patrick Bishop

A deeply moving and extremely important contemplation of the horrors of Northern Ireland's Troubles and their aftermath.

-- Kevin Myers

To A Dark Place shatters your senses and chills the blood in a way only Ken Wharton can. It's a tale of unmitigated terror all the more horrifying for its truth, when fiends of either stripe, Loyalist or Republican, roamed the streets of Northern Ireland, popping up on doorsteps like gruesome Jack-in-the-boxes, and offing innocents for spurious offences against the cause.

-- Steven McLaughlin

South East Fermanagh Foundation (SEFF) are working collaboratively with author Ken Wharton in securing involvement from victims/survivors in sharing their lived experiences.

-- Kenny Donaldson
