Lucy Lewis
Imagine standing over a bomb - you need to make a choice. Remember, your life depends on it.
In this extraordinary memoir, Lucy Lewis reveals the hidden world of bomb disposal training and how she came to be the UK's first female bomb disposal expert. From joining Sandhurst to rushing to her first bomb disposal call-out, Lucy's story is full of high stakes and tense situations that for most of us are beyond comprehension.
Lucy's story however is also a deeply inspirational one - joining the military in the 1980s just as women were taking on more dangerous roles, Lucy's every move was watched and scrutinised. This didn't hold her back however, and this is how she broke through the ceiling, fought against sexism and achieved something no woman had ever done before.
Lighting the Fuse is an eye-opening memoir that reveals the hidden world of being a woman in the military and how a young woman with an ordinary background made history - not just once, but twice.
