In the dead of night on November 26, 2008, ten men slipped silently into Mumbai by sea. Over the next 60 hours, they unleashed a storm of violence that brought India's financial capital to its knees and shocked the world. The true story of this attack, the most audacious terror plot since 9/11, begins decades earlier, spans multiple continents, and enmeshes a diverse array of characters with varying motivations.
Perfect Storm peels back the layers of this conspiracy, taking readers on a riveting journey that extends from the blood-soaked birth of Pakistan in 1947 to the treacherous geopolitical landscape of the post 9/11 world. Based on meticulous research and drawing on Prabhakar Aloka's decades-long experience in counter-terrorism in the Intelligence Bureau, and co-author Nikhil Ravi's expertise as a screenwriter and filmmaker documenting Indo-Pak geopolitical flashpoints, the book pieces together the spider's web behind 26/11, spanning worlds as disparate as dusty training camps in rural Pakistan and neon-lit hacker dens in South-East Asia, casting an unprecedented look into the anatomy of a state-sponsored terror attack.
