No ordinary Washington memoir, Facing Down Evil is an unprecedented look behind the scenes of our nation's most powerful law-enforcement agency. As the FBI's premier hostage negotiator, Clint Van Zandt worked or consulted on some of recent U.S. history's most unsettling and high-profile conflicts, including the Waco, Oklahoma City, and Unabomber cases.©2006 Clint Van Zandt and Daniel Paisner; (P)2006 Tantor Media, Inc.

What the critics say

"[A] gripping memoir....The writing...is crisp and fast-paced, and Van Zandt's revelations about hostage negotiation tactics and actual encounters are fascinating." (Booklist)

Most Relevant
this book is a non-starter. I thought it would be interesting and go into depth of some of the more famous hostage situations, such as Waco, but there were about 2 sentences on it. Very Dry and boring where you're left waiting for something to happen.

not what I expected!
