The story ends with the intrigue surrounding the dictator's gruesome death in 1953."

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 world, drawing into its grip everyone from Sweden’s most notorious outlaw to the prime minister himself. As policemen and reporters encircled the bank, the crime-in-progress turned into a high-stakes thriller broadcast on live television. Inside the building, meanwhile, complicated emotional relationships developed between captors and captives that would launch a remarkable new concept into the realm of psychology, hostage negotiation, and popular culture. Based on a wealth of previously unpublished sources, including rare film footage and unprecedented access to the main participants, Six Days in August captures the surreal events in their entirety, on an almost minute-by-minute basis. It is a rich human drama that blurs the lines between loyalty and betrayal, obedience and defiance, fear and attraction—and a groundbreaking work of nonfiction that forces us to consider "Stockholm syndrome" in an entirely new light.

Napoleon hat abgedankt, das von ihm dominierte Europa muss sich neu aufstellen - doch wie? In Wien versammelt sich der bis dahin größte Kongress der Geschichte und verhandelt über die Zukunft des Kontinentes. Königreiche und Fürstentümer werden vergrößert, verkleinert oder abgeschafft, die Landkarte Europas neu gezeichnet. Bis heute leben wir in einem Europa, das sich auf den Wiener Kongress bezieht. Doch natürlich wird nicht nur verhandelt. King erzählt von den zahllosen Liebschaften und Amouren, die den gekrönten und ungekrönten Teilnehmern oft wichtiger waren, schreibt von den großartigen Bällen und den festlichen Einladungen, bei denen viel mehr Politik gemacht wird als in den trockenen Besprechungen. Aber kein Romanautor hätte sich die Pointe ausdenken können, dass der Kongress unterbrochen werden muss, weil der gefürchtete Napoleon wieder auf der politischen Bühne erscheint und plötzlich alles ganz anders werden könnte, als der tanzende Kongress das geplant hat ...

A diktátor parancsára, a politikai tisztogatások áldozatait eltüntették a csoportképekről, a tömegjeleneteket ábrázoló fényképeket pedig úgy változtatták meg, hogy még nagyobb és még lelkesebb hallgatóság éljenezze a nagy Sztálint.
