Three Weeks in July is the extraordinary and definitive account of the events of the 7/7 London bombings, publishing on the 20th anniversary of the event.The first of its kind, Three Weeks in July provides the definitive narrative on the harrowing events of 7th July 2005 and the aftermath, where chaos, confusion and terror reigned on the streets of London.
A true-crime investigation woven together with high-politics and seminal history, the book will intricately explore the untold accounts of the Met’s and Government’s response to 7/7, and their desperate attempts to prevent a possible second wave.Speaking to some of the key protagonists – including Tony Blair, Peter Clarke (Head of Anti-Terrorism at the Met), Ian Blair (then Met Police Commissioner), as well as victims and first responders whose accounts have helped chronicle the atrocity – it will piece together a never-before-told story that focuses first on the frenzy of the first hours after the attack, and the ensuing three weeks of police work, forensic investigations and political machinations that are still being felt to this day.A seminal work of narrative nonfiction that has echoes of the likes of Three Days in June, Say Nothing and Killing Thatcher, Three Weeks in July is an essential historical document and a unique patchwork narrative that explores the inherent vulnerabilities of the state and the ethical questions connected with keeping a nation safe.
