The Year London Blew Up: 1974
In 1974, London was rocked by a series of bombings that left the city in a state of fear and chaos. The Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) claimed responsibility for the attacks, which targeted various locations throughout the city.
The bombings began in January with an explosion at the Houses of Parliament, followed by attacks on the Tower of London, the Old Bailey courthouse, and several other landmarks.
The attacks continued throughout the year, with bombs going off in train stations, pubs, and even a department store. The city was on edge as the IRA carried out their campaign of terror, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake.
Despite the best efforts of the police and security forces, the bombings continued until October, when a ceasefire was declared by the IRA.
The Year London Blew Up: 1974 is a gripping account of a city under siege, and the brave men and women who worked tirelessly to bring an end to the violence.
