Author: Rory Carroll

Rory Carroll’s “There Will Be Fire” is the gripping story of how the IRA came astonishingly close to killing Margaret Thatcher and wiping out her party’s top leaders in Brighton, England on Oct. 12, 1984. 

Carroll reveals the birth of the Brighton plot, the hide-and-seek between the IRA and security services, the bomb, the manhunt — this is a drama with an eclectic cast, some famous, some still in shadows.

Carroll draws on his own interviews and original reporting, reveals new information, and weaves previously undetected threads to create a path-breaking narrative and to set the history straight.
