A review by connorlangham
The Siege by Ben Macintyre

adventurous dark informative inspiring tense medium-paced

5.0

The tension built over the first 200 pages of this book pays off in spades with the breathless finale - 'eleven minutes' - which has to be the greatest achievement of non-fiction writing I have read. 

Ben Macintyre has mastered the art of telling human stories, and this is one of the best. Perfection.
