The 26/11 attacks as they are now known is widely regarded as the world's first hybrid terrorist attack. The attackers achieved through this long-drawn siege what Al Qaeda did through the high-visibility mass-casualty attack of 11 September 2001. The response to this attack was the first instance of all three wings of the Indian armed forces coming together to fight terror. The attacks tested the mettle of India's elite counter-terrorist force the National Security Guard whose strike element was entirely made up of army personnel; the navy dispatched its marine commandos in the initial hours of the attack; the air force flew the NSG into the city and air-dropped them over Nariman House. Black Tornado as the operation was called by the NSG is the story of these men called into action in the desperate hours following the most sensational terrorist attack the country has ever seen. >Black TornadoUnnithan SandeepHARPERCOLLINS IN9789353576783
