In the page-turning tradition of Black Hawk Down,
the definitive account of the 2008 terrorist attacks in
Mumbai
Mumbai, 2008. On the night of November
26, Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorists attacked targets throughout
the city, including the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, one of the
world’s most exclusive luxury hotels. For sixty-eight hours,
hundreds were held hostage as shots rang out and an enormous
fire raged. When the smoke cleared, thirty-one people were
dead and many more had been injured. Only the courageous
actions of staff and guests—including Mallika Jagad, Bob
Nichols, and Taj general manager Binny Kang—prevented a much
higher death toll.
With a deep understanding of the
region and its politics and a narrative flair reminiscent of
Midnight in Peking, journalists Cathy Scott-Clark and
Adrian Levy vividly unfold the tragic events in a real-life
thriller filled with suspense, tragedy, history, and heroism.
