A thoroughly researched book that gives a detailed insight into how 26/11 was planned, executed and how India reacted to it. While reading the book, there were times when I felt a gulp in my throat but that is the least one can feel about what happened in Mumbai on 26/11/2008. ( )

Topic itself is interesting but the way it is presented is confusing and botched. The authors attempt to do too much in the space they have, they flit from character to character with little in the way of reminding the reader of who they are/what they do. This takes the reader out of the story, having to go back to the front and remind yourself who that person is. It makes for a jarring and disjointed reading experience. Personally to compare this to Black Hawk Down is erroneous and misguided, BHD is written far better than this. ( )
