The Perfect Storm: The History And Anatomy Of 26/11

Perfect Storm unravels the untold story behind the 26/11 Mumbai attacks—one of the most audacious terror plots since 9/11. In the dead of night on November 26, 2008, ten men slipped silently into Mumbai by sea, unleashing 60 hours of violence that brought India’s financial capital to its knees and shocked the world. But this story begins decades earlier, spanning continents and weaving together a web of characters with complex motivations. Drawing on meticulous research and Prabhakar Aloka’s decades of counter-terrorism experience in the Intelligence Bureau, alongside Nikhil Ravi’s expertise as a screenwriter and filmmaker, the book peels back layers of conspiracy—from the blood-soaked birth of Pakistan in 1947 to the volatile geopolitical landscape of the post-9/11 world. It offers an unprecedented look into the anatomy of a state-sponsored terror attack, tracing connections from rural training camps in Pakistan to hacker dens in Southeast Asia. Gripping and deeply researched, Perfect Storm is a definitive account of the forces that shaped 26/11 and the shadowy networks behind it.
