Product Description Discusses terrorism and hostagetaking as major problems in the world today, their effects on how we live, and the methods employed to reduce terrorism From School Library Journal Grade 710 Taylor attempts to give an overview of the various types of hostagetakings. He opens with the Achille Lauro incident and then moves on to incidents in Lebanon, South America, and the U. S. in order to establish a historical perspective. There are chapters that deal with the emotions of victims, negotiating techniques, and the role of the media. While this volume is far from an exhaustive study, it is an adequate overview of a problem that has refused to go away. The close link between hostagetaking and international terrorist groups is better dealt with in Think About Terrorism, the New Warfare (Walker, 1988) by Terrell E. Arnold and Moorhead Kennedy. While Hostage! is short on analysis, it is a fine basis upon which to build a term paper or just a good working knowledge of international terrorist kidnapping. There are a few blackandwhite illustrations; however, they seem to provide little more than an occasional break in the text.
