Facing Down Evil Life on the Edge as an FBI Hostage Negotiator

"With more than twenty-five years of service in the FBI, Clint Van Zandt has been party to such unsettling and high-profile conflicts as the Waco siege, the Oklahoma City bombing, and the Unabomber case. In Facing Down Evil, Van Zandt recounts his most memorable cases - some televised in every living room across the country, and many others that took place beneath the radar of all but those individuals involved whose lives were permanently altered." "Van Zandt draws the reader into his private world of hostage negotiations, taking us inside the criminal mind, the impossibly high-stress situations, the ticking of the clock before SWAT is brought in, the art of calling a hostage-taker's bluff, and the despair over a botched operation or a nonnegotiable standoff."--BOOK JACKET.Paisner, Daniel is the author of 'Facing Down Evil Life on the Edge as an FBI Hostage Negotiator', published 2006 under ISBN 9780399153082 and ISBN 039915308X.
