COLD ZERO - FBI'S ELITE HOSTAGE RESCUE TEAM - 2002

A hard-hitting, pacy and grittily realistic account of life in the fast lane of the FBI......fascinating, authentic and utterly compelling.

The Hostage Rescue Team is the FBI's most specialised, highly trained squadron, equivalent to the Navy's Seals or the Army's Delta Force.  They are charged with only the most dangerous of operations:  terrorist capture, hostage situations and other large scale emergencies.  Of the hundreds of thousands of US law enforcement officers, only 150 have ever been a member.  Christopher Whitcombe was part of that elite team for the last fifteen years and is the first ever to write about his experiences.

Unlike any book before it, Cold Zero offers a stark first person account of the silent struggle America wages just below the headlines, a shadowy war against weapons of mass destruction, against attacks by unpredictable enemies, against the forces of chaos.  This book is one man's extraordinary journey - but it is also the story of the battle to hold oblivion at bay.

This 559 page softcover has some light creases and edgewear to cover and spine.  Internally however it is in a very good, tight, clean condition.  A great read!
