Show Notes

Alexei and Talal get into it with bestselling author Ben Macintyre (Operation Mincemeat, SAS Rogue Heroes, Colditz) about his new book The Siege. It's all about the 1980 Iranian embassy siege where 6 terrorists took over the London embassy for 6 days holding dozens of people hostage... including Talal's dad!

Bombs! SAS! Heroes! Villains! Thatcher!
