The ransom of terror, governing the hostage market

This book examines the reaction of states to the kidnapping for ransom of their nationals by terrorist organisations. By conducting interviews in seven countries with various players ranging from intelligence services to former hostages, the author provides food for thought on the "governance of the hostage market".
