PERFECT STORM : History and Anatomy of 26/11

By Prabhakar Aloka. Haryana Ebury Press 2025 , A Definitive Account of the 26/11 Mumbai Attacks & Indo-Pak Geopolitics In the dead of night on November 26, 2008, ten men slipped silently into Mumbai by sea. Over the next 60 hours, they unleashed a storm of violence that brought India’s financial capital to its knees and shocked the world. The true story of this attack, the most audacious terror plot since 9/11, begins decades earlier, spans multiple continents, and enmeshes a diverse array of characters with varying motivations. This is a story that has never been told in full. Until now. Perfect Storm peels back the layers of this conspiracy, taking readers on a riveting journey that extends from the blood-soaked birth of Pakistan in 1947 to the treacherous geopolitical landscape of the post 9/11 world. Based on meticulous research and drawing on Prabhakar Aloka’s decades-long experience in counter-terrorism in the Intelligence Bureau, and co-author Nikhil Ravi’s expertise as a screenwriter and filmmaker documenting Indo-Pak geopolitical flashpoints, the book pieces together the spider’s web behind 26/11, spanning worlds as disparate as dusty training camps in rural Pakistan and neon-lit hacker dens in South-East Asia, casting an unprecedented look into the anatomy of a state-sponsored terror attack. 9780143475859

PLASTIC INC.: Big Oil, Big Money and The Plan To Trash Our Future

By Beth Gardiner. London Monoray - Octopus 2026 , 'Gripping and essential reading' - TIM SPECTOR 'A compelling true crime story' - THE NEW YORK TIMES 'Strips away the lies to show what's really happening in the world' - OLIVER BULLOUGH 'Totally compelling' - ELIZABETH KOLBERT Plastic is everywhere in our daily lives. But the companies making it - oil and petrochemical giants like ExxonMobil and INEOS - are hiding in plain sight. Because for all the vivid coverage of where plastic ends up, there is remarkably little discussion of where it comes from. In a shocking investigative deep dive, packed with character-driven storytelling, award-winning journalist Beth Gardiner exposes the truth of the vast, rapacious industry flooding our world with plastic - and now preparing to make more than ever. From the Gulf Coast of Texas to the narrow streets of Antwerp and the glitz and bling of Dubai, Gardiner gives us an up-close look at the plastic industry's relentless growth, its extraordinary profits, its toxic pollution, and its hidden role in exacerbating climate change. Today, the industry is pouring billions of dollars into plans to double, and eventually triple, the amount of plastic it churns out, even as so many of us -aghast at this material's out-of-control proliferation - try to use less. As Big Oil stares down a future of diminishing demand for fossil fuels, plastic has become its financial lifeline. Plastic Inc is full of stunning revelations, including how Big Oil pushed plastic into our lives and then sold us myths about recycling to ease our worries; how companies funded litter campaigns to blame us for the waste they were creating; and how they've poured cash and political muscle into fighting bans on single-use plastics. Gardiner also uncovers the hidden health crisis caused by chemicals in the items we use every day, and scientists' growing fear that microplastics may pose even greater dangers. Plastic Inc is an extraordinary exposé of an industry that will stop at nothing to feed its voracious hunger for profit. 9781800962538
