A riveting nonfiction narrative of a historical event that I'm ashamed to say I do not remember--the 1980 armed takeover of the Iranian embassy in London by anti-Khomeini Iranian Arabs. The story of this six-day siege, and its resolution, is fascinating. And the ending is as tense and pulse-pounding as any thriller I've ever read. An outstanding book.

Very informative and eye opening to many of the issues driving the actors behind the siege- an event I knew little of beforehand. Thorough description of characters and setting. Can be slow paced at times but makes sense given the nature of the event.
