Former British Foreign Office worker Jonathan Powell gives readers an opportunity to place themselves at the tables of secret talks between terrorist groups and governments throughout the world. In this work, Powell proposes that the only means to and end of terrorist violence is through direct communication with the terrorists themselves鈥� a strategy that is rarely prioritized, resulting in resorting to military action instead. This fascinating look at the covert relationships between governments and terrorists is critical, but also leaves readers with a promise of hope for resolution.
