How effective are the methods currently used to deal with hostage
situations? This study attempts to answer that question by
examining the ways in which terrorists manipulate the hostage/
barricade tactic-one of the most formidable and frightening devices
in their arsenal-and by analyzing the response of law enforcement
officers and policymakers to its use. Drawing on case materials and
interviews with high-level decision makers, both in the United
States and abroad, who are involved with domestic and international
terrorist operations, Professor Miller analyzes the political and
psychological motifs of hostage/barricade dramas. He then looks at
terrorism, particularly political terrorism, within the broader
theoretical context of the general study of political violence and
the operational concerns of public decision makers and law
enforcement personnel.
