About this title

Synopsis

Facing Down Evil deals with the role of the hostage negotiator in the defusing of major crises by the FBI. Author Clint Van Zandt covers the training and formation of a hostage negotiator and discusses his role during the Waco siege in 1993, the handling of Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh in 1995, and the Unabomber case in 1996, as well as survival strategies for those taken hostage and ever-emerging issues for FBI Special Agents.

In this updated and expanded edition, Van Zandt calls upon his experience as an FBI Criminal Profiler as he examines modern-day home invasions, the workings of electronic sextortion, new ways to spot pedophiles and some of the new methods used to recruit future suicide bombers. He provides readers with critical tips to avoid and/or survive crimes against their homes, their families and themselves.
