Miss Stone Affair America's First Modern Hostage Crisis

"Carpenter is earnest and meticulous, and one senses beneath her sobriety an urge to let herself go and fully indulge in the human drama. There is the occasional breathy passage, but for the most part, like her heroine, she maintains an impressively stiff upper lip. This leaves the impression of two books in one: a worthy account of politics and diplomacy, with a more emotional tale beneath it, itching to break free."Carpenter, Teresa is the author of 'Miss Stone Affair America's First Modern Hostage Crisis', published 2004 under ISBN 9780743258050 and ISBN 0743258053.
