The Siege: A Six-Day Hostage Crisis and the Daring Special-Forces Operation That Shocked the World by Ben Macintyre

adventurous emotional informative inspiring reflective tense fast-paced

5.0

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.
