**[Saroj Kumar Rath's book Fragile Frontiers: The Secret History of the Mumbai Terror Attacks](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/48641/who-wrote-the-fragile-frontiers-the-secret-history-of-mumbai-terror-attacks-and-when)** was published by **Routledge** in **[London](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/93169/what-are-the-places-to-visit-in-london) in August 2014** and was simultaneously released in **India** and the **United States**. The book is about **terrorism in** **South Asia**, with a focus on the **Mumbai terrorist attacks of 2008**.

Saroj Kumar Rath's Fragile Frontiers is a threadbare investigation of the variety of problems surrounding the **Mumbai terror attacks of November 26, 2008**. It is an extensively annotated, liberally footnoted research paper.

It investigates the why and who of the attacks, as well as how a small group of assailants was able to carry out many attacks with such precision and cruelty, and, most critically, how the security apparatus failed to notice and prevent the attacks. **Nine locations, all crowded public spaces, ten men, and three nightmare days that Mumbaikars, Indians** in general, and the rest of the world will never forget. \
'The book goes on to raise various doubts concerning the manner the investigations into the 26/11 attacks were handled, and the relatively superficial charge sheet submitted in the case,' according to the **Times of India**. 'The book is refreshingly honest, extensively researched, and digs deep under the skin of the event with toothcomb precision,' The **Hindu** wrote in its appraisal. The sharp inquiry and detail distinguish this writing from all others that have appeared in the aftermath of the event.' \
The prosecution, according to The Secret History of the Mumbai Terror Attacks, 'relieved the genuine offenders behind the actual crime.' The charge sheet does not include the name of **ISI,** and the **LeT** is likewise vaguely described.' '**The most well-written book about the Mumbai terror attacks,**' according to the author. \
