书籍简介

《杀死撒切尔》扣人心弦地讲述了爱尔兰共和军如何惊人地差点杀死玛格丽特·撒切尔并消灭英国内阁——这是一次与北爱尔兰麻烦有关的非同寻常的暗杀企图，也是自阴谋以来大胆的针对王室的阴谋。

在这本引人入胜、引人入胜的书中，专业记者罗里·卡罗尔 (Rory Carroll) 追溯了 1984 年臭名昭著的布莱顿爆炸事件的经过——这一事件影响了英国未来几十年的政治格局。 他从 1979 年蒙巴顿勋爵臭名昭著的处决开始——爱尔兰共和军对此承担全部责任——然后追踪玛格丽特·撒切尔的崛起、她对爱尔兰“麻烦”的反应以及导致 1981 年绝食抗议的一系列事件 包括鲍比·桑兹在内的 10 名囚犯死亡。 从那一刻起，撒切尔夫人就成了爱尔兰共和军的敌人——该组织发誓要进行报复。

KILLING 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 prisoners, including Bobby Sands. From that moment on Thatcher became an enemy of the IRA – and the organisation swore revenge.
