The Siege is a thrilling tick-tock recounting one of the most harrowing hostage situations and daring rescue attempts of our time. 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.
