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.
