I will look for this book, I haven’t read espionage nonfiction and I think I will like it a lot, especially since Macintynte seems to have a great writing style.
Thanks, Gabby. I almost called this post something like: A Thriller for People Who Don’t Read Thrillers, because in fiction, they’re not my favorite genre.
But “The Siege” was a great nonfiction story, the kind of book I do like. I keep thinking about that gerbil at the Montessori school racing around its wheel as gunfire raged during the hostage rescue!

Great review! I especially loved "the sublimely named town of Barking."
Thanks, Flora. That name is so rich in possibilities!
