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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs 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of psychology, hostage negotiation, and popular culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on a wealth of previously unpublished sources, including rare film footage and unprecedented access to the main participants, \u003cem\u003eSix Days in August\u003c\/em\u003e captures the surreal events in their entirety, on an almost minute-by-minute basis.
