Description
Something Has Gone Wrong: Dealing with the Brighton Bomb by Steve Ramsey On 12 October 1984, an IRA bomb exploded at the Grand Hotel in Brighton, killing five people and injuring thirty. This shocking event had a profound impact on the country, but it's the story of how people responded to it that is truly remarkable. In this book, journalist Steve Ramsey speaks to those who were there on the day and involved in its aftermath, many of whom have never spoken publicly about it before. His interviewees include firemen, medics, police officers, detectives, and government officials, all of whom share their unique perspectives on the event. Through their stories, a portrait emerges of a pivotal moment in British history that combines narrative clarity with the vividness of oral history. Ramsey's book offers fascinating new insights into this shocking event, shedding light on how the conference continued and how the government pursued business as usual despite the bombing.
