The Iranian Embassy Siege: The Definitive Inside Story is the gripping and authoritative account of the 1980 siege of the Iranian embassy in London. Based on exclusive interviews with the key players, this book reveals the full story of the six-day standoff, from the initial hostage-taking to the dramatic rescue mission.

On April 30, 1980, six armed men stormed the Iranian embassy in London, taking 26 hostages. The hostage-takers were members of the Arab Separatist Group, a militant organization seeking the overthrow of the Iranian government. The siege lasted for six days, during which time the hostages were subjected to physical and psychological abuse. The British government refused to negotiate with the hostage-takers, and on May 5, the SAS launched a daring rescue mission that ended the siege and freed the hostages.
