The Siege: 68 Hours Inside the Taj Hotel by Adrian Levy
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Well-written & documented book on the horrible terrorist attacks (perpetrated & controlled by a Pakistani terrorist organization that ISI ultimately sanctions) on Mumbai in 2008. A focal part of these horrific attacks that killed over 160 people was the seige of the world-class Taj Hotel. Part of what led to the high number of casualties--both killed & wounded--by the 10 trained terrorists was the inexplicable delay on the Indian government's behalf in getting their specially trained anti-terrorist troops to Mumbai (and the actual attack sites) from New Delhi. Inexcusable disorganization with deadly results. I listened to the audiobook, borrowed from the library.
