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.
