Book
On 12 October 1984, an IRA bomb exploded inside Brighton's Grand Hotel, killing 5 people and injuring 30. It was an assassination attempt on Margaret Thatcher and her cabinet, who were staying there for the Conservative party conference. Here, Brighton journalist Steve Ramsey speaks to those who were there on the day and involved in its aftermath, many of whom have never spoken publicly about it before. His interviewees include: firemen who worked on the long rescue operation; medics from the local hospital; police officers who rushed to the scene; detectives who played key roles in the criminal investigation; and cabinet ministers and high-ranking civil servants, who describe how the conference continued and how the government pursued business as usual.
