A desperate gunman holds a planeload of innocent passengers
hostage. A heavily armed cult leader refuses to leave his compound,
threatening mass suicide by a hundred of his brainwashed followers.
A neo-Nazi militant in a cabin hideout keeps federal agents at bay
with gunfire. A baby disappears; his only trace is an ominous
ransom call to his parents. Prisoners riot, threatening the lives
of prison officers and hundreds of other inmates. How do you react?
What do you do? What do you say? Your words, your actions can save
lives—or lose them. James Botting faced these challenges and
daily pressures during a fascinating and demanding twenty-five-year
career as an FBI hostage negotiator. He found himself
involved—sometimes peripherally, more often personally—in many
of the FBI’s most famous events since the 1970s. From Ruby Ridge
to Waco, Patty Hearst to Rodney King, and Wounded Knee to TWA 847,
Botting was there and on the spot. Along the way hostage
negotiation techniques evolved, changing from play-it-by-ear and
shoot-from-the-hip to a carefully choreographed psychological game
of life and death. Botting was involved every step of the way. In
Bullets, Bombs, and Fast Talk: Twenty-five Years of FBI War
Stories, Botting vividly describes these events and more as only a
participant can. He reviews the successes and the times the FBI
fell short. He chillingly recounts a number of times when death
seemed inevitable, only to come through unscathed. Botting pulls no
punches with this gritty, detailed, and often humorous insider’s
account of life at the end of a gun as an FBI hostage negotiator.
