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
It’s fascinating how the book blends detailed historical accounts with the gripping narrative of a thriller. Growing up in Mumbai during that era must have given you a unique perspective on the events described in the book. It’s always intriguing when a non-fiction book manages to be as engrossing as any fiction out there
