Adam Dolník: The world of an elite negotiator
Audiobook The World of the Elite Negotiator, authors Adam Dolník and Martin Moravec, read by Marek Němec, Josef Pejchal and Petra Bučková. Directed by Jan Herget.
Welcome to the darkest corners of crime. In places where they are kidnapped, threatened and ransom demanded. You will be guided through them by Adam Dolník, who is one of the few people in the world who negotiates with kidnappers, extortionists, pirates and terrorists. He has taken dozens of hostages from captivity and his story chills me.
Not much is known about the negotiators. And few people know that among the best is a Czech. When his phone rings, he has only a few minutes to pack up and fly to Nigeria, Pakistan, Haiti... How did he get this job? What did he experience during it? Lots of emotions, tension and dramatic stories.
During his career, he trained FBI and Scotland Yard agents. He has faced criminal gangs, Somali pirates and even the Islamic State. More than once he found himself among terrorists and in situations where he was in danger of not returning home himself. Where is the biggest drift? How do you negotiate for a human life? And how can these skills be used in everyday situations?
MARTIN MORAVEC
Journalist, head of iDnes magazine, author of sports reports. "Don't you want to do something proper for a living?" his mother and his physics teacher said to him in unison. But at the age of sixteen he knocked on the door of the editorial office of the Orlice newspaper and started his journalistic career. Slowly at first, reports from the district football championship, because he (and especially his dad) was sorry that he had never played football himself. In 1998, he moved from eastern Bohemia to Prague, studied journalism at Charles University, and at the same time worked at the editorial office of MF DNES. He started out as a sports elite - he used to write down how many yellow or red cards each player got on the big Thursday after each round of the football league. Gradually he started to write mainly about tennis and toured all Grand Slam tournaments. In 2003, he moved to the Thursday magazine Magazin DNES, which he has managed since 2006 (with a short break). Since then, he's been writing weekly columns, 250 of which he's now selected for the book Enter, Mom! In addition to his work at MF DNES, he teaches future journalists, has filmed several episodes of the documentary The 13th Chamber, hosts various events and has commented on tennis on Eurosport.
