On the morning of August 23, 1973, a man wearing a wig, makeup, and
a pair of sunglasses walked into the main branch of Sveriges
Kreditbank, a prominent bank in central Stockholm. He ripped out a
submachine gun, fired it into the ceiling, and shouted, "The party
starts!" This was the beginning of a six-day hostage crisis-and
media circus-that would mesmerize the world, drawing into its grip
everyone from Sweden's most notorious outlaw to the prime minister
himself. As policemen and reporters encircled the bank, the
crime-in-progress turned into a high-stakes thriller broadcast on
live television. Inside the building, meanwhile, complicated
emotional relationships developed between captors and captives that
would launch a remarkable new concept into the realm of psychology,
hostage negotiation, and popular culture. Based on a wealth of
previously unpublished sources, including rare film footage and
unprecedented access to the main participants, Six Days in August
captures the surreal events in their entirety, on an almost
minute-by-minute basis. It is a rich human drama that blurs the
lines between loyalty and betrayal, obedience and defiance, fear
and attraction-and a groundbreaking work of nonfiction that forces
us to consider "Stockholm syndrome" in an entirely new light.
