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

Opening with a brilliantly-paced prologue that introduces bomber Patrick Magee in the build up to the incident, Carroll sets out to deftly explore the intrigue before and after the assassination attempt – with the story spanning three continents, from pubs and palaces, safe houses and interrogation rooms, hotels and barracks. On one side, an elite IRA team aided by a renegade priest, US-raised funds and Libya’s Qaddafi and on the other, intelligence officers, police detectives, informers and bomb disposal officers. An exciting narrative that blends true crime with political history, this is the first major book to investigate the Brighton attack.

Very comfortable, luxurious, and affordable.
Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
Great pillow. Feels soft enough for comfort while being cool and cozy. There could be more filling to make it slightly more firm but otherwise a great pillow.

Memory Foam Pillows
Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
recently purchased the OSBED Cooling Adjustable Shredded Memory Foam Pillow, and it has made a noticeable difference in my sleep quality. One of my favorite features is the adjustable fill, which allowed me to customize the height and firmness to perfectly support my neck and shoulders. Whether you’re a side, back, or stomach sleeper, it’s easy to find a comfortable setup. The cooling cover does a great job of preventing heat buildup throughout the night, which is a huge plus for anyone who tends to sleep warm. The shredded memory foam provides excellent support while still feeling soft and comfortable, and it doesn’t flatten out like some traditional pillows.

Great Quality, But Not for Me (Too Heavy & Hot)
Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
I want to start by saying there is absolutely nothing wrong with this pillow—it’s well made, good quality, and exactly as described. The adjustable shredded memory foam design and cooling features will likely work well for many people. That said, it just wasn’t a good fit for me personally. Right away, I noticed that the shredded memory foam pieces are fairly large and dense, which made the pillow feel heavier than I expected. When I laid on it, it didn’t have the light, airy “cloud” feeling I prefer. Instead, it felt more solid and structured. I also found it retained heat. Even though it’s advertised as cooling, memory foam tends to hold warmth, and I could feel that fairly quickly. For someone sensitive to heat, this may be uncomfortable. If you prefer a more supportive, denser pillow, this could be a good option. But if you’re looking for something lightweight and breathable, this may not be the best choice. Overall, it’s a quality product—just not the right match for my comfort preferences.
