"Riveting...the most in-depth and absorbing section is devoted to the 1993 siege near Waco, Texas." The Washington Post "Certain to fascinate true crime readers...The compelling centerpiece of the book is Noesner's analysis of 'what went wrong at Waco' with the Branch Davidians." Publishers Weekly "An intense, immersive narrative, making [Noesner's] real-life experiences read like episodes of a good cop drama." Kirkus Reviews "Noesner is a gripping storyteller, and man, does the guy have stories. It's like watching an emotional bomb squad defuse explosive personalities." Dave Cullen, author of Columbine "The world doesn't need me to tell them that Gary Noesner has been there, and done that. There are hundreds of living victims across the globe that are living testament to Gary's abilities to successfully negotiate, or teach others effective crisis negotiation." Lt. Tom Monahan, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Dept. "Noesner's passion for the art of hostage/crisis negotiations has influenced hundreds, probably thousands, of police negotiators in the world. His enthusiasm for this highly perfected skill is contagious." Bruce A. Wind, Crisis Negotiator, Seattle Police Department
