Great Work

Dear friends, I saw the book and read the reviews given by other friends. A bit of eagerness raised in me to know about the actual things happened on Friday the 12th March 1993 in Bombay. All of us might have read articles in newspapers and leading magazines. But this book I tell you will give a better hands on information when compared to those newspapers and magazines. Mr. S. Hussain Zaidi, did a great work to bring in light the untold truth. The initial pages of the book details abou...

Excellent Read!

By far, this book will always remain as the most comprehensive research piece on 1993 Bombay blasts. No other piece of literatre can offer you so many details in such a consice form. Starting from demolition of Babri Masjid, Zaidi takes you back in time to explain how the meticulous planning started and how the plan culminated into satanic actions. With his usual rhetoric, which is simple yet captivating at all times, the author leaves no stones unturned in giving a detailed description of al...

Black Friday - A must read

I was looking for this book to read for quite some time, having seen the movie. I could not locate it in any major stores. However, as usual, all is available at Flipkart, and timely delivery too.
The book is a must read for anyone willing to know the true (or as close to truth as possible for us) chain of events in 1993. The story runs tight and the author has tried to provide a clear picture.
Highly recommended. Both Flipkart and Black Friday.

Adventure and mystery run through my veins

As I have finished watching the movie, Black Friday, I was tremendously shaken and moved, and wanted to dig up or investigate more about the untold truth. I came across the book by Zaidi. It unfolds a lot more details which are missing from the movie. Though the movie was made quite well in a manner, but the missing links could be woven up, if one reads the book. It is so engrossing that one cannot just get rid of it, without finishing at a go. Revelation of the facts in a very lucid way, mak...

Black Friday - Its better than the movie

I have just read the book after 3-4 years of watching the movie. Zaidi's work is brilliant. The way he has portrayed the stories, will definitely put you through all what actually had been faced by them. The book is full of facts and evidences from various sources and ultimately it makes an interesting read.

Black Friday with black intentions

A book which is very rare to come across on the sad incidents happened during 90's. The author took lot of pain and efforts to come out with this gem. The book will teach everybody a lesson that revenge always takes the livies of the innnocent for their selfish motives.

Great Book

This is a great non-fiction book based entirely on the most tragic series of events that occurred in Bombay ( now Mumbai ) back in the 90s, especially if you have seen the movie Black Friday by Anurag Kashyap. It is pretty noir and gritty and keeps you on the edge for the whole time. Tells you exactly how it all happened leaving no imagination to the mind.
A perfect real story thriller.

Must read!!

Better read police charge-sheet instead of wasting money on this book

I bought this book to read something which I didn't know through police or media, something which a researchers could bring forth. To know something which is accused's version and corroborated with circumstances, but was utterly disappointed to read that this book is entirely based upon police sources. In that case, what is the point in reading this book? Just read media reports which are based on police charge-sheet.
