Articoli correlati a Phase Line Green: The FCI Talladega Hostage Rescue
"A taut, gripping account of the FBI Hostage Rescue Team's brilliantly executed rescue of hostages held by ruthless Mariel Cubans at Talladega---the FBI at its best and a story well told by one of the team's assaulters."---Former U.S. Attorney General William Barr
"Special Agent McGee offers the public a glimpse at the dedicated law enforcement officers who, without hesitation, risk their own lives to save the lives of others...This account captures the essence of law enforcement on the front lines. Every American needs to know who's guarding their freedoms and the sacrifice associated with performing this duty."---Former FBI Director William Sessions
"Phase line green" refers to the final position before an assault commences. At phase line green, assault teams wait only for the signal to go before breaching a crisis site to save hostages.
In 1991, Cuban inmates of the federal correctional institution in Talladega, Alabama, overpowered their guards and took eleven hostages. The inmates were facing deportation and were desperate not to go back to Cuba. The HRT was brought in so that, in the event that negotiations failed, the hostages could still be saved. Ten days into the standoff, the inmates threatened to start killing hostages. In the early hours of the morning, the HRT waited outside the correctional facility at phase line green for the command: "Execute!"
James McGee offers a rare insider's view of the requirements and specialized skills necessary to deploy to an incident like the Talladega hostage crisis. He exposes readers to the punishing training program and the mental and physical sacrifices that come with being a member of the FBI HRT.
