 On December 17, 1996, masked members of the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement (MRTA), a deadly band of insurgents, stormed the lavish birthday party of the Japanese ambassador to Peru. They seized his residence and demanded the release of four hundred of their comrades from prison – or they would kill all the hostages. One of the hostages, Luis Giampietri, a former field commander of special operations forces, would play a crucial role in a complex commando rescue operation planned by Peru’s president, Alberto Fujimori. Here is Giampietri’s riveting inside account of the unnerving ordeal, the rescue that took all of 41 seconds from start to finish, and the operation’s unexpected ramifications. By turns encouraging and cautionary, this book is an invaluable account of one of the most dramatic terrorist hostage incidents in history.. read more >> |

on Melrose in West Hollywood. In 1988 (two years after a new little
