The riveting story of many of the most dramatic international crises and conflicts of recent years, including everyone from presidents, warlords and ''the noble, the brutal, the cunning and the just-plain unhinged''. The Back Channel recounts with vivid detail and incisive analysis some of the seminal moments of a legendary diplomatic career--from the bloodless end of the Cold War to relations with Putin''s Russia, and from post-9/11 tumult in the Middle East and secret nuclear talks with Iran to America''s rebalance toward the Asia-Pacific and its deepening strategic partnership with India.Career diplomat William J. Burns draws on his treasure trove of newly declassified cables and memos to offer a rare peek at US diplomacy in action. He illuminates the back channels of his profession, and its value in a world that resembles neither the zerosum Cold War of his early career, nor the ''unipolar moment'' of American primacy that followed. His dispatches from war-torn Chechnya and Qadhafi''s camp in the Libyan desert, and his memos warning of the ''perfect storm'' unleashed by the Iraq War, will profoundly reshape both our understanding of history and the policy debates of the future.The Back Channel is an eloquent, deeply informed and impassioned argument for renewing diplomacy as the tool of first resort in American statecraft.
