+1 on Ghost in the Wires. You could also try On wings of Eagles, a narrative of a rescue of EDS employees during the Iranian Revolution.

Wikipedia tells me that the genre is called Non-fiction novels.

I'll take your word on that one. I've been more of a movie/docu person, and have seen a movie based on that story, Argo [1]. The movie was good. Non-fictional, based on the real story, slightly romanticized/more suspenseful.

While I'm trying to steer more towards reading books I made the rule to not watch a book of a movie I've seen. It just doesn't work very well for me (other way around seems fine).

So yeah, the movie spoiled it for me...
