Black Friday: The True Story Of The Bombay Bomb Blasts

A must read for everyone .... A page turner....Hussain zaidi has packed in everything one could want to know about the dreadful series of events that shook our city ...

Hats off to Hussain Zaidi, it brought back the scenes that I saw in the movie Black Friday when I was way younger and didn't knew that such a book existed or the movie was based on this movie. It sent shivers down my spice imagining the horrors of the blasts..detailed and well researched books or master pieces as his forte!

What's cool is that this well researched book lets you understand the incidents very well. Perhaps the only such book about the tragic incident.

This book is a must read for all those who are curious to know what happened after the bombing of Mumbai

True story behind the mumbai bomb blasts. Gripping and very engaging. I couldn't stop reading till I reached the last page.

a gripping and well written book. Gives one a in-depth and yet simple explanation on the bombay bomb blasts. The author's sketchy writing about Dawood's role in the whole episode does rob the story of critical truths

Excellent book.racing narrative just likea thriller.

Really great book to read. Husaain Zaidi has done great research. Parts of the ending turned out a bit boring.

I bought this book after watching the Anurag Kashyap directed masterpiece and honest to God, I was hugely and pleasantly surprised. This book is definitely not a literary gem. If you are looking for one, please read William Shakespeare.....but this was so hard-hitting, gritty, and fiesty that it actually overshadows the film by miles. I enjoyed every bit of it and would love to read other works of Mr. Zaidi.

Provides an interesting and detailed insight as to the motives and methods involved

Mr Zaidi accomplishes the rare: converting a historical, controversial and tragic series of events in India’s history into a tightly woven, thrilling at times, gruesome at others, but above all faithful narrative based on documentary evidence and replete with journalistic integrity. Kudos!

Not half as good as earlier Hussain Zaidi books.

Born and brought up in Mumbai, and growing up as a small child through the terrible 92’ Bombay riots and the devastating 93’ blasts, I always wanted to learn more about the city I call home. Through this book, and others by Zaidi sir, I learnt a lot about ‘My City’. They include how Mumbai has a unique culture, how different communities make the city what it is today, how religious madness tried to destroy its fabric, and how in times of distress, the different religions come to each other’s aid without hesitation. Hats off to Zaidi sir. A must-read book (along with Dongri to Dubai, Byculla to Bangkok) for those who truly call Mumbai their home.
