"This is a riveting account of the 26/11 Taj attack, in the words of a survivor. 'Working in a hotel prepares you for many things, but not this.' 26 November 2008. The world watches in horror as Mumbai is ripped apart by coordinated terrorist attacks. Among the locations targeted is the century-old iconic Taj Mahal Palace Hotel in Colaba. By the time the siege ends, the hotel has suffered severe damage - and dozens have lost their lives. In ""14 Hours"", we encounter for the first time a full, eyewitness account of the shocking tragedy - from Ankur Chawla, an operations management trainee with the hotel in 2008. A stark and compelling narrative, this is the story of a man who battled immense fear and peril to emerge a survivor."
