Killing thatcher- Rory Carroll

"Killing Thatcher: The IRA, the Mortal Wound, and the Loss of the Political Center" by Rory Carroll is a gripping exploration of the 1984 IRA bombing that targeted former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and her Cabinet. The book delves into the political context surrounding the attempt on Thatcher's life, offering an in-depth look at the events leading up to the bombing, the impact it had on British politics, and the complex legacy of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) during the height of the Troubles.

Carroll examines the mindset and motivations of the IRA members involved in the bombing, as well as Thatcher’s own response to the assassination attempt. The book also looks at the broader consequences of political violence in the UK and Ireland, and how the event shaped both public perceptions of the IRA and the trajectory of the conflict.
