520    "The definitive account of the bizarre hostage drama that 
       gave rise to the term "Stockholm Syndrome." On the morning
       of August 23, 1973, a man wearing a wig, makeup, and a 
       pair of sunglasses walked into the main branch of Sveriges
       Kreditbank, a prominent bank in central Stockholm. He 
       ripped out a submachine gun, fired it into the ceiling, 
       and shouted, "The party starts!" This was the beginning of
       a six-day hostage crisis-and media circus-that would 
       mesmerize the country, drawing into its grip everyone from
       Sweden's most notorious outlaw to the prime minister. By 
       the end, the police and press alike would have a new way 
       to understand the complicated emotional relationship 
       between captor and captive. Based on a wealth of 
       previously unavailable sources, including rare film 
       footage, and unprecedented access to the main participants,
       Six Days in August is a groundbreaking work of nonfiction-
       a rich human drama of loyalty and betrayal, obedience and 
       defiance, fear and attraction"--|cProvided by publisher.
