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

In Harms Way by Doug Stanton. Only book I’ve read in one sitting. Could not put it down. What those sailors went through…just insane.
