Description

The Iranian Embassy siege of 1980 was one of those ‘where were you when it happened?’ moments, but beyond the explosive live footage of the SAS assault that ended things, what of the previous six days of tense standoff and the lives of the 26 hostages and the 6 armed men who held them? Ben Macintyre writes narrative history like no-one else and after extensive research and interviews with those who were there he sat down with us for an interview of his own. Who were these people, what exactly did they go through, and how would any of us have reacted if put in the same situation?
