Forlagsbeskrivelse af The Siege af Ben Macintyre
FROM THE NO. 1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF SAS: ROGUE HEROES AND THE SPY AND THE TRAITOR . DISCOVER THE STORY OF THE SIX DAYS THAT SHOOK THE NATION! ___________________ April 30, 1980. Six heavily armed gunmen burst into the Iranian embassy in London, taking 26 people hostage. A tense six-day siege ensued as millions gathered around screens across the country to witness the longest news flash in British history. Six days in which police negotiators and psychiatrists sought a bloodless end to the standoff, and the SAS laid plans for a daring rescue mission. Drawing on unpublished source material, exclusive interviews, and witness testimony, bestselling historian Ben Macintyre tells the dramatic story in full for the first time - from the years and weeks of build-up on both sides, to the minute-by-minute of the rescue. The Siege is the remarkable story of what really happened on those fateful six days, of a moment that forever changed the way the nation thought about the SAS, and itself, forever. ___________________ 'Masterly . . . it has never been recounted so pleasurably as it has been here' New York Times 'Macintyre does true-life espionage better than anyone else' John Preston Ben Macintyre, Sunday Times bestseller, August 2023
