Command Sergeant Major Eric Haney (ret.),
is a retired member of the United States Army
counterterrorist unit, the 1st Special Forces
Operational Detachment-Delta, more commonly known as Delta
Force. In recent
years he has been writing on terrorism, guerrilla warfare,
and special operations.
Haney is the author of
Inside Delta Force, a memoir of his time in the elite unit, in which
he also writes about his participation in the aborted 1980
Operation Eagle Claw mission to
Iran
to free American hostages.
Post military, Haney has worked throughout the Middle
East and Latin America,
protecting princes, presidents, and CEOs.
He led the protective force that returned President
Bertrand Aristide to
Haiti.
He has negotiated
with Latin American guerrillas for the safe return of
hostages and provided security for international oil
companies operating in the most dangerous regions on earth.
He has also worked with a group of fellow ex-Delta
commandos to rescue American children kidnapped around the
world. Haney was
also a co-executive producer of the CBS television series
The Unit, inspired
by Haney’s special operations experiences.
Clint Van Zandt was with the FBI for 25 years where
he served as a Supervisor with the FBI's internationally
respected Behavioral Science or "Silence of the Lambs" Unit.
He was also the FBI's Chief Hostage Negotiator and managed
the FBI's Major Case/Crisis Management Program. Prior to
this he was an Agent with US Army Intelligence and is a
Vietnam War veteran.
He is an authority on child predators and abduction
prevention, drawing on his experience at age seven when he
was abducted by a child predator and eventually escaped.
As an FBI Profiler and Hostage Negotiator, he
personally negotiated with Branch Davidian cult leader David
Koresh in Waco, Texas and he has
conducted negotiations that have brought about the release
of hostages held by prison rioters, and kidnap victims held
by both South American guerrillas and terrorists in the
Philippines. He correctly
profiled Oklahoma
City
bomber Timothy McVeigh on the day of that fateful bombing
and also led the analytical team that helped to identify the
"Unabomber”. A
well-known author and television and radio commentator
concerning crime and human behavior, he has made more
television appearances than any other FBI Agent in history,
to include over 3,000 national and international TV shows.
Clint Van Zandt has written two books, "Facing down Evil,
Life on the Edge as an FBI Hostage Negotiator," and "Dynamic
Processes of Crisis Negotiation," which was awarded the 1998
Best Book Award by The International Association for
Conflict Management.
