The Siege

Ben Macintyre has a talent for highlighting personal acts of courage. I'm curious how he chose which stories to include and how much was based on new research.

The way the book delves into intelligence operations added a layer of suspense I didn't expect from nonfiction. Would love to hear if others felt similarly.

I've read a few books on similar topics, but this one felt more personal and immediate. Did the author aim to provide a different perspective or fill gaps in existing narratives?
