Terror Counter Terror

After 40 years of silence, the world's most famous hostage negotiator, international crisis manager and best-selling author, Steve Pieczenik releases his novel about a terrorist episode in which he was personally involved- the kidnapping and assassination of Italian Prime Minister, Aldo Moro by the Red Brigades. To this day, Pieczenik has refused to testify about the incident before the Italian Parliament.

The year is 1978. The country is Italy. In this fictionalized account, the assistant secretary of state, Richard Baker, is sent to Italy by the U.S. government to prevent the assassination of the prime minister and the destabilization of the country. While working with the Italian government for the release of Moro, Baker uncovers a web of unexpected alliances and hidden agendas that lead him to question whether anyone really wants Moro back-alive! As contemporary Italy is racked with a series of financial crisis the threat of destabilization is as real today as it was when Dr Pieczenik wrote Terror Counter Terror.
