Author, hostage
Waite to speak
Humanitarian and author Terry Waite, a former hostage
negotiator who was once held hostage for nearly five years himself,
will speak at Ozarks at 7 p.m., Tuesday, April 20.
Waite’s appearance is the final event of the
university’s 2003-2004 Walton Arts & Ideas Series. Tickets
are free for the campus community.
Waite’s lecture topic touches on humanitarian
concerns, international relations and conflict resolution. He drew international
attention in the 1980s by successfully negotiating the release of hostages
in Iran and Libya. His life took a fateful turn in 1987, when, while
negotiating for the release of Western hostages in Beirut, he was taken
into custody. He spent five years in captivity, four of which were spent
in solitary confinement.
In the years that followed his ordeal, Waite has written
three books, including a memoir of his detainment, “Taken on
Trust” (Bantam Books, 1994). He lectures extensively and works
with humanitarian groups striving for compassion and understanding around
the globe.
