Episode 46: How Does the U.S. Government Get Detained Americans Home?

De: Peter L. Bergen

Narrado por: Peter L. Bergen

Almost immediately after Hamas attacked Israel, the U.S. began a well-coordinated, high-level, high-wire effort to free the Americans taken hostage. It wasn’t always like this. Until a few years ago, the U.S. had no effective approach to securing the release of its citizens held overseas. After multiple Americans died in captivity while the government flailed, their loved ones set out on a campaign to force change. This episode's guests are two of the top-ranking administration officials currently tasked with bringing Americans home and two women who, through their grief, got the U.S. to do better.
