3.0

The Pluses: Personal recollection of various hostage situations, some insight into negotiation techniques.

The Minuses: Tone gets dry and sections get plodding on occasion, avoids openly criticizing some parties that deserve it.

The Bottom Line: A reasonably interesting read with an uncommon vantage in true crime.

I think there is some irony in the man on the cover pointing a gun at me when the book advocates a non-tactical approach to dealing with criminals!
