Description
A bomb exploded at 2:54 a.m. on October 12, 1984, at the Grand Hotel in Brighton, England, during the Conservative Party Conference. The blast, carried out by the Irish Republican Army, killed five people and injured dozens, with Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher narrowly avoiding death. This gripping narrative reveals the events leading up to the attack, the hide-and-seek between the IRA and British security services, and the painstaking search for clues and suspects afterward. Journalist Rory Carroll draws on his own interviews and original reporting to tell the story of the IRA's attempt to assassinate Thatcher. He weaves together previously unconnected threads to create a thrilling account that reads like a pacey read. With new information and insights, Carroll sheds light on a pivotal moment in history that changed the course of events. There Will Be Fire is a gripping and meticulously researched account of the IRA's attempt to kill Thatcher, and the manhunt that followed.
