About this listen

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.

And can happen in future
So get together and condem them so that they do not RULE over our lives
It is a snake whose head should be chopped

Although the audiobook describes multiple viewpoints - both terrorists and victims - and takes place all over Mumbai, it is a good summary of action so chaotic it's not possible to write a direct timeline of events. The authors captured the chaos, the courage, the violence and the sadness very well. I enjoyed listening to the book very much.
