In November 1972, Jean McConville a widow and mother of ten was dragged from her Belfast home, vanishing into a climate of fear, secrecy, and violence. For over thirty years, her children and neighbors lived in silence, uncertain of her fate and powerless to confront the forces that tore their family apart.\u003cbr\u003eBetrayed in Belfast is a gripping true crime narrative that goes beyond headlines to illuminate the human cost of political conflict. Drawing on interviews, archival research, and firsthand accounts, this meticulously reported book follows Jean's life, the harrowing circumstances of her abduction, and the complex moral landscape of the IRA, British authorities, and the communities caught in between.\u003cbr\u003eWhen her remains were discovered decades later, a single blue safety pin offered a fragile bridge to the past a reminder of a mother's love, the resilience of her children, and the enduring power of truth. This book explores not only a shocking crime but also the psychological, societal, and moral repercussions of terror, silence, and betrayal.\u003cbr\u003eBetrayed in Belfast is a haunting, humanized, and unforgettable story of courage, grief, and the long journey toward justice. It is a testament to the ordinary heroism of motherhood, the moral complexity of political conflict, and the enduring need to remember the lives forever changed by history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47568809689239,"sku":"9798250058070","price":2089.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798250058070.webp?v=1774870996","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/betrayed-in-belfast-the-true-crime-story-of-jean-mcconville-the-ira-and-the-secrets-that-shaped-northern-ireland-9798250058070","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
