In the Shadows: True Stories of High-Stakes Negotiations to Free Americans Captured Abroad by Mickey Bergman

challenging dark informative tense fast-paced

5.0

First of all, a big thank you to NetGalley and Center Street for providing me with a copy of this book in return for my honest review. 

I really enjoyed this book, I love a book that details the behind the scenes of a career they you wouldn’t normally know much about. I remember a few of these cases, where you would hear about someone who was arrested in a foreign country but reading this book reminded me that I never found out how those situations ended. 

A inspiring and thought provoking insight into what really goes into not only negotiating the release of these prisoners but the care of the families left behind.
