This book concentrates on the hijacking of aircraft by terrorists, the holding of passengers and crew as hostages, and the efforts both successful and otherwise to achieve their release and deal with the hijackers. After an overview of terrorism and a discussion of international aspects of counterterrorism the book looks in detail at the Entebbee and Mogadishu (successful hostage rescue) and Malta (unsuccessful), then offers some conclusions on factors which contribute to improving the chances of successful rescues.
