{"product_id":"hostage-takers-philip-steele-9780778725879","title":"Hostage Takers","description":"This timely and important title examines the motivations, events, and effects of the terrorist practice of taking hostages. From political bargaining throughout history to current activity by the terrorist group ISIS, readers will consider the reasons that groups engage in hostage taking and learn about the effects it has on victims and their larger communities. Taking the stance of a global citizen, readers will debate whether hostage takers should be negotiated with and how hostage taking could be prevented. Using case studies, debate sidebars, and critical thinking questions, Hostage Takers allows readers to critically explore the media's coverage of terrorism and hostage situations, exposing them to differing perspectives on how best to deal with these threats now and in the future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Steele\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0778725871\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780778725879\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Crabtree Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 8.30w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVoice of Youth Advocates\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2017 - Recommended - Readable","brand":"Philip Steele","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48483668656383,"sku":"9780778725879","price":33.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7cae4b59-0209-4977-8c2b-c337b710119b.jpg?v=1778039891","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hostage-takers-philip-steele-9780778725879","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
