On 26 November 2008, ten highly motivated and trained terrorists armed with guns, grenades, and improvised explosive devices managed to slip past coastal security cordons on India's western seacoast in a fishing trawler. They boarded a rubber dinghy and disembarked at Machhimar Nagar, Colaba, Mumbai. What followed over the next three harrowing days was a relentless assault on India's "Maximum City" as the fidayeen carried out unprecedented havoc at pre-selected landmarks, effectively holding India's commercial capital hostage. The 26/11 attacks, now infamous, are widely regarded as the world's first hybrid terrorist attack. Through this prolonged siege, the attackers achieved what Al Qaeda did through the high-visibility mass-casualty attack on September 11, 2001.
In response to this attack, for the first time, all three branches of the Indian armed forces came together to combat terrorism. India's elite counter-terrorist force, the National Security Guard (NSG), played a pivotal role. The navy dispatched its marine commandos in the initial hours of the attack, and the air force flew the NSG into the city, air-dropping them over Nariman House. "Black Tornado," the codename for the operation, is the remarkable story of these brave men who were called into action during the desperate hours following one of the most sensational terrorist attacks the country has ever witnessed.
Sandeep Unnithan provides a detailed, blow-by-blow account of the terrorist strike and how Mumbai's siege was thwarted by the swift and coordinated efforts of India's security forces. This book offers a gripping narrative that delves into the courage and determination displayed by those who stood up against terror during this tragic event in India's history.
