Non-Fiction Book Club - There Will Be Fire: Margaret Thatcher, the IRA, and Two Minutes That Changed History, Rory Carroll In-Person
Join us at the Non-fiction Book Club as we read amazing stories of real life events!
This month we discuss There Will Be Fire: Margaret Thatcher, the IRA, and Two Minutes That Changed History by Rory Carroll: "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."
