Siege: The Powerful and Uncompromising Story of What Happened Inside the Lindt Cafe and Why the Police Response Went So Tragi: The Powerful and ... the Police Response Went So Tragically Wrong - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
"I'm sure you [will be] as shocked and bewildered by what you've learnt, as I was." &;Afterword, Louisa Hope, Lindt Cafe hostage
On December 15, 2014, just 10 days before Christmas, the unthinkable happened. A terrorist attack on Australian soil. For 17 hours, Islamic State-inspired gunman Man Haron Monis held his captives in a terrifying drama that paralyzed Sydney and kept a nation glued to its television screens. Two hostages were killed and three seriously wounded. The others would have their lives changed for ever.
Despite the police leadership declaring it was well prepared for a terrorist attack, many shortcomings on the night revealed a response that fell seriously short of that promise. Deborah Snow lays bare what happened behind the scenes in the cafe as the hostages tried to keep themselves alive while waiting for a police response that didn't come. She also takes us into the police command posts as communications, equipment, and decision-making structures broke down.
Hurtling towards its inevitable and tragic conclusion, Siege draws us into a vortex of police missteps, extraordinary bravery and profound grief to reveal what happened during that awful day. Shocking, compelling, and revealing Siege will take its place as the classic account of these events.
"Deborah Snow has written a tense and compelling narrative that both captures the human drama of the siege and interrogates the organisational failures that led to its tragic conclusion." &;Sydney Morning Herald
"Compelling." &;Weekend Australian
