26/11 Braveheart

By Praveen Kumar Teotia

Four bullets ripped through his body--one punctured a lung, and four ribs shattered, scattering splinters across his chest. Doctors declared that his life had been cut short--that he would never swim or run again. But he proved them wrong.

On the night of the 26/11 terrorist attacks in Mumbai, marine commandos of the Indian Navy (MARCOS) entered the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, one of the sites held captive by Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists. Their mission was clear: rescue the hostages and neutralize the attackers.

Decorated with the Shaurya Chakra for his heroism, Praveen Kumar Teotia was one of the MARCOS leading the operation. He fought the terrorists, suffered near-fatal injuries, and helped save more than 150 innocent lives. In this gripping, edge-of-your-seat memoir, Teotia delivers a minute-by-minute account of that deadly night--how his team entered the Taj, how he faced the attackers, and how he barely survived.

Declared unfit for life, he defied every odd to return stronger--becoming a marathon runner and an Ironman triathlete. Praveen's story is one of courage, conviction, and rebirth. Above all, it is the story of an Indian soldier.
