Thomas Hamilton: The True Story of the Dunblane Massacre
On March 13, 1996, the quiet Scottish town of Dunblane was shattered when Thomas Hamilton entered a primary school and carried out the deadliest mass shooting in Britain's history. Sixteen children and their teacher were killed in a tragedy that stunned the world, shook a nation to its core, and forever changed the United Kingdom's relationship with guns.
But who was Thomas Hamilton? How did a man once seen as a harmless misfit turn into the perpetrator of such horror? And why were so many warnings about his behavior ignored until it was too late?
In this powerful and deeply researched account, you'll discover:
Hamilton's troubled upbringing and early struggles to fit in.
His obsession with control, youth clubs, and firearms.
The mounting paranoia and isolation that drove him toward violence.
A detailed examination of the events of March 13, 1996.
