word. In this compelling book, police veteran Robert L. Snow takes us into the midst
of the nation's heroic SWAT teams, allowing us to eavesdrop on harrowing
negotiations between killers and cops. He gives us a balanced look at what SWAT
teams do right and what they do wrong and recommends ways to improve their
tactics in future hostage situations. While he gives no-holds-barred analyses of such
dire failures as Waco, he also celebrates SWAT's greatest triumphs-thousands of
incidents in which no one was hurt. No policeman or citizen can afford to miss this
harrowing yet hopeful look at society's main weapon against sudden terror. "A
riveting account of the inner workings of SWAT...Fascinating and informative!" -Don
