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
The Tiger by John Vaillant. True story of a Siberian tiger that developed a grudge against area hunters in the 1990s and the team that had to take it down. Informative and gripping.
