Interesting account by the hostage negotiator who was, himself, taken hostage in Beirut, Lebanon. He was held from 1987-1991 and spent the first four years in solitary confinement. First edition, second printing. Text clean with B&W photos, pages lightly tanned. Previous owner name on ffep as well as a small piece of tape. Solid copy but spine is a little askew as shown in photo. DJ has a little edge wear, is price clipped and has a neat 1 1/2” slit on the backside (like from a box cutter). Please see photos.#terrorism#hostage#Beirut#history#autobiography#nonfiction#hardcover#prisoner#UK (Shelf 2F)
