I am reading Dongri to Dubai by S. Hussain Zaidi.
Growing up in Mumbai in the 1980s/90s, I remember reading news stories about the Mumbai gang wars.
This book covers that in great detail and as such qualifies as a genuine history book.
And yet, it reads like a potboiler. It is essentially unputdownable.
10/10
‘Josephine Baker, American beauty, French Hero, British spy’ is AMAZING. True story of an incredible woman who risked everything in WW2, certainly reads like a thriller.
Oooh, I bought this book last week! Looking forward to reading it!
