At 6am on the 12th of October 1984, the first news reports come through of a bomb explosion in a Brighton hotel where Margaret Thatcher, the Prime Minister of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, was staying with the rest of her cabinet.

In... a nondescript hotel in Cork, southern Ireland, Pat Magee, the IRA operative who planted the bomb, a little over 3 weeks earlier, breathes a sigh of relief.

Bombing Brighton: The Plot to Kill Thatcher is the gripping account of how the IRA came astonishingly close to killing the Iron Lady and wiping out the British cabinet – the most daring conspiracy against the Crown since the Gunpowder Plot.
