think.kera.org January 28, 2019 8In 2012, ISIS began capturing journalists and aid workers in Syria. The governments of Germany, Denmark, France and Italy negotiated to free their hostages.

His new book is called “We Want to Negotiate: The Secret World of Kidnapping, Hostages and Ransom” (Columbia Global Reports).
