{"product_id":"four-killings","title":"FOUR KILLINGS","description":"The story of a single family during the Irish Revolution, Four Killings is a book about political murder, and the powerful hunger for land and the savagery it can unleash. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 'A vivid and chilling narrative...

Jack Clinton, an immigrant small farmer from County Meath, was murdered in the remote and lawless Arizona territory by a powerful rancher's hired assassin; three more died in Ireland, and each death is compellingly reconstructed in this extraordinary book. What unites these deaths is the violence that engulfed Ireland during the war of independence, but also the passions unleashed by arguments over the ownership of the soil.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e In focusing on one family, Four Killings offers an original perspective on this still controversial period: a prism through which the moral and personal costs of violence, and the elemental conflict over land, come alive in surprising ways.","brand":"Readers Paradise Book Shop Wexford","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41574158925995,"sku":"","price":8.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0538\/7105\/0923\/products\/11_66d0628a-db12-4b81-b208-a7b6527b84d0.jpg?v=1646319320","url":"https:\/\/readersparadise.pro\/products\/four-killings","provider":"ReadersParadise","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
