Hanafi Muslim Hostage Siege in Washington D.C.

Pieczenik details his intervention in the 1977 Hanafi Muslim hostage crisis in Washington D.C. He claims he defied President Jimmy Carter's order to stand down and instead used Muslim ambassadors to negotiate using Quranic principles. He criticizes the FBI's incompetence during the siege and describes using psychological tactics, such as controlling air conditioning and food, to secure the hostages' release.
