In 1973, three women and two men were held hostage in a bank in Stockholm by two ex-convicts. This book describes how the hostages and their captors formed a bond (now known as the "Stockholm Syndrome"); and how survival mechanisms for the women could be seen to mirror those employed in daily life.
