Ben Macintyre, "The Siege: A Six-Day Hostage Crisis and the Daring Special-Forces Operation That Shocked the World"

A thrilling tick-tock recounting one of the most harrowing hostage situations and daring rescue attempts of our time—from the true-life espionage master and New York Times bestselling author of Operation Mincemeat and The Spy and the Traitor.

“[Ben Macintyre is] John le Carré’s nonfiction counterpart.”—The New York Times

As the American hostage crisis in Iran boiled into its seventh month in the spring of 1980, six heavily armed gunman barged into the Iranian embassy in London, taking twenty-six hostages. What followed over the next six days was an increasingly tense standoff, one that threatened at any moment to spill into a bloodbath.

Policeman Trevor Lock was supposed to have gone to the theater that night. Instead, he found himself overpowered and whisked into the embassy. The terrorists never noticed the gun hidden in his jacket. The drama that ensued would force him to find reserves of courage he didn’t know he had. The gunmen themselves were hardly one-dimensional—all Arabs, some highly educated, who hoped to force Britain to take their side in their independence battle against Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini. Behind the scenes lurked the brutal Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, who had bankrolled the whole affair as a salvo against Iran.

As police negotiators pressed the gunmen, rival protestors clashed violently outside the embassy, and as MI6 and the CIA scrambled for intelligence, Britain’s special forces strike team, the SAS, laid plans for a dangerous rescue mission. Inside, Lock and his fellow hostages used all the cunning they possessed to outwit and outflank their captors. Finally, on the sixth day, after the terrorists executed the embassy press attaché and dumped his body on the front doorstep, the SAS raid began, sparking a deadly high-stakes climax.

A story of ordinary men and women under immense pressure, The Siege takes readers minute-by-thrilling-minute through an event that would echo across the next two decades and provide a direct historical link to the tragedy on 9/11. Drawing on exclusive interviews and a wealth of never-before-seen files, Macintyre brilliantly reconstructs a week in which every day minted a new hero and every second spelled the potential for doom.

英文|国际标准图书编号：0593728092|2024|EPUB | 400页|116 MB 本·麦金太尔，“围攻：六天人质危机和震惊世界的大胆特种部队行动” 一个激动人心的滴答声，讲述了我们这个时代最悲惨的人质事件之一和大胆的救援尝试——来自现实生活中的间谍大师和《纽约时报》畅销书《碎肉行动》和《间谍与叛徒》的作者。 “[本·麦金太尔]是约翰·勒·卡雷的非虚构类对应作品。”——《纽约时报》 1980年春天，当美国在伊朗的人质危机进入第七个月时，六名全副武装的枪手闯入伊朗驻伦敦大使馆，劫持了26名人质。接下来的六天是一场日益紧张的对峙，随时都有可能演变成一场大屠杀。 警察特雷弗·洛克那天晚上应该去剧院了。相反，他发现自己被制服了，被迅速带进了大使馆。恐怖分子从未注意到藏在他夹克里的枪。随后发生的戏剧性事件将迫使他找到自己不知道的勇气储备。枪手本身并不是一维的——他们都是阿拉伯人，有些受过高等教育，希望迫使英国在与最高领袖阿亚图拉·霍梅尼的独立斗争中站在他们一边。幕后潜伏着残暴的伊拉克独裁者萨达姆·侯赛因，他资助了整个事件，作为对伊朗的齐射。 当警方谈判人员向枪手施压时，敌对的抗议者在大使馆外发生了暴力冲突，当军情六处和中央情报局争夺情报时，英国特种部队打击小组SAS制定了危险的救援任务计划。在里面，洛克和他的人质同伴们使出浑身解数，智取并包抄了绑匪。最后，在第六天，恐怖分子处决了大使馆新闻专员并将其尸体扔在前门后，SAS突袭行动开始了，引发了一场致命的高风险高潮。 《围城》讲述了一个普通男女在巨大压力下的故事，它通过一个将在未来二十年内回荡的事件，一分钟一分钟地让读者激动不已，并为9/11悲剧提供了直接的历史联系。通过独家采访和大量前所未有的文件，麦金太尔出色地重建了一周的生活，在这一周里，每天都有一个新的英雄诞生，每一秒都预示着厄运的可能性。
