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
Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grann.
I’m reading the Wager right now. It’s a page-turner. Killers of the Flower Moon is up next.
The Wager fits the bill!
What’s Wager about? Who is the author
It’s about a shipwreck. Author is David Grann, same as Killers of the Flower Moon. Both are great reads.
I read it in a day and a half. So hard to put down.
I finished this last week, and this is a fantastic book. Entirely eye opening the whole way through
