Pengen kasih rate 3.5 sih sebenernya.

Pengalaman membaca ini tuh di awal2 chapter kayak nonton film Hotel Mumbai, cukup thrilling. Tapi jujur di tengah2 ku agak bosen sih karena si penulis menceritakan juga event2 yang terjadi di negara lain di waktu yang sama dengan pengepungan ini buat ngasih a wider context. Tapi buat gue itu malah jadi distraksi.

Tapi, buku ini masih menarik untuk dibaca sampai selesai karena peristiwa penting ini kayak ga pernah terdengar sebelumnya, setidaknya buat gue. Dan peristiwa ini serta apa yang dilakukan KSA dan sohibnya, USA, setelahnya ternyata paved the road to 9/11. ‘All the terrorist we see now are the leftovers of Juhayman (si pemimpin pemberontakan ini)’ kata seorang pemimpin pasukan KSA yang menangani kasus ini.

it is written about an event happened in 1979 when a group of religious fanatics seiged Mecca for 22 long days.The group had an imposter Mehdi (from the Islamic traditions, a person who would appear in Baitullah Mecca).The book is an interesting read.
