À propos de cet audio

 Starting in late 2012, Westerners working in Syria -- journalists and aid workers -- began disappearing without a trace. A year later the world learned they had been taken hostage by the Islamic State. Throughout 2014, all the Europeans came home, first the Spanish, then the French, then an Italian, a German, and a Dane. In August 2014, the Islamic State began executing the Americans -- including journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff, followed by the British hostages.

Joel Simon, who in nearly two decades at the Committee to Protect Journalists has worked on dozens of hostages cases, delves into the heated hostage policy debate. The Europeans paid millions of dollars to a terrorist group to free their hostages. The US and the UK refused to do so, arguing that any ransom would be used to fuel terrorism and would make the crime more attractive, increasing the risk to their citizens. We Want to Negotiate is an exploration of the ethical, legal, and strategic considerations of a bedeviling question: Should governments pay ransom to terrorists?

a very informative and critical look at an otherwise hard subject to understand. The subject is complex and so is the book making it somewhat slightly hard the truck and follow but the book is phenomenal exploring the issues from all perspectives. I remained polarized throughout the read until the conclusion where it is clear that polarization here does not amount to a successful release over kidnapping. instead to understand that all cases are different and that specific guidelines founded in facts should be adhered to in order to maximize success

a very informative and critical look
