THATCHER is the gripping account of how the IRA came astonishingly
close to killing Margaret Thatcher and to wiping out the British
Cabinet – an extraordinary assassination attempt linked to the
Northern Ireland Troubles and the most daring conspiracy against
the Crown since the Gunpowder Plot. In this fascinating and
compelling book, veteran journalist Rory Carroll retraces the road
to the infamous Brighton bombing in 1984 – an incident that shaped
the political landscape in the UK for decades to come. He begins
with the infamous execution of Lord Mountbatten in 1979 – for which
the IRA took full responsibility – before tracing the rise of
Margaret Thatcher, her response to the ‘Troubles’ in Ireland and
the chain of events that culminated in the hunger strikes of 1981
and the death of 10 republican prisoners, including Bobby
Sands.From that moment on Thatcher became an enemy of the IRA – and
the organisation swore revenge. Opening with a brilliantly-paced
prologue that introduces bomber Patrick Magee in the build up to
the incident, Carroll sets out to deftly explore the intrigue
before and after the assassination attempt – with the story
spanning three continents, from pubs and palaces, safe houses and
interrogation rooms, hotels and barracks. On one side, an elite IRA
team aided by a renegade priest, US-raised funds and Libya’s
Qaddafi and on the other, intelligence officers, police detectives,
informers and bomb disposal officers.An exciting narrative that
blends true crime with political history, this is the first major
book to investigate the Brighton attack.
