After reading Mossad: The Greatest Missions of the Israeli Secret Service by Michael Bar-Zohar, I found Black Tornado: Mumbai 26/11 in the related section. It is written by Sandeep Unnithan, Deputy Editor, India Today. It was meant to be an article and evolved into a book. Because of the good reviews, I took no time in buying a Kindle copy. It covers the military response to the terrorist attack on Mumbai in 2008, popularly known as 26/11.
I find book very engaging and thoroughly enjoyed it. Black Tornado is the name of the NSG’s operation on the attacks. A few tidbits-
- Browsing through the tenant mailing list yesterday, I learned the society in which I stay Sandeep Vihar, AWHO is named after Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan who was killed in action during Operation Black Tornado.
