1. 1. There Will Be Fire

   Margaret Thatcher, the IRA, and Two Minutes That Changed History

   

   The book delves into the complex and gripping story of the 1984 Brighton hotel bombing, an assassination attempt on British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher by the Irish Republican Army (IRA). It explores the meticulous planning behind the attack, the political tensions of the era, and the personal stories of those involved, including the survivors and the perpetrators. Through detailed research and interviews, the narrative provides a vivid account of the event's impact on British politics and the ongoing conflict in Northern Ireland, highlighting themes of resilience, justice, and the quest for peace amidst violence.

2. 2. Comandante

   Hugo Chávez's Venezuela

   

   A vivid portrait of Hugo Chávez’s rise and rule in Venezuela, showing how charisma, oil wealth, and revolutionary theatrics reshaped the state while weakening institutions. Through reporting from the palace and the barrios, it reveals the cult of personality, sycophancy, and corruption that fueled polarization, scarcity, and fear, even as social programs delivered short-term gains. It’s a brisk, ground-level chronicle of petro-populism’s promises and costs, and of a democracy sliding toward authoritarian spectacle.
