Retired agent Gary Noesner reviews his role as a hostage negotiator speaking with David Koresh and other members of the Branch Davidians during the Waco siege. He also reviews the Paramount Network's 6-part TV mini-series, Waco. A significant focus of Gary Noesner's Bureau career was directed toward investigating and negotiating numerous crisis incidents covering prison riots, right-wing militia standoffs, religious zealot sieges, terrorist embassy takeovers, airplane hijackings, and over 120 overseas kidnapping cases involving American citizens. Stalling for Time: My Life as an FBI Hostage Negotiator, the book he wrote about his career, serves as the basis for a six-part mini-series on the 1993 Waco Siege incident on the Paramount Network.
