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
Great recommendation! I’ve always been fascinated by the Mumbai gang wars, and it’s amazing to find a history book that reads like a thriller. I’ll definitely add Dongri to Dubai to my reading list. Thanks for sharing!
