description: An extended and highly original meditation on the ambiguous figure of the hostage in modern life. (Faisal Devji, Reader in Modern South Asian History at the University of Oxford, UK 2012-07-23)
zlib_text: This volume explores the issues of taking, using and being hostages in the 
  Middle Ages. It brings together recent research in the areas of hostages 
  and hostageships, looking at the act of hostage-taking and the hostages 
  themselves through the lenses of political and social history. Building upon 
  previous work, this volume in particular critically examines not only the 
  situations of hostages and hostageships but also the broader social and 
  political context of each situation, developing a more complete picture of 
  the phenomenon.
