This title tells 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. 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.
