The Iranian Gift stands out for being a book that does a completely opposite thing - an Middle East nation attacking a developed European one, and that too England. David Yaron weaves a story that grows in suspense page by page, keeping the reader hooked on the edge. Not a single moment goes without anticipating the real motives of Major General Safawi and Lt Colonel Kabadi. The tight-knit style of Kabadi preparing for the mission is what kept me glued to the book. The first half of the book goes on in preparing for the mission and the latter half is about executing it. I really liked the suspense the book had till the end, alongside some tense situation building and good dialogues. Somewhere, I wish the book had cut on more technicalities about planes and rather focus on increasing action in the story, that was somehow a bit low. 

Nevertheless, the book was an amazing read for me and when I found what happened to London, I was just surprised. I will surely recommend this book for an amazing read of how Iran bought London to its knees.
