Description

The Back Channel: A Memoir of American Diplomacy in a Disordered World Over the course of more than three decades as an American diplomat, William J. Burns played a central role in some of the most consequential diplomatic episodes of his time. Drawing on newly declassified cables and memos, he offers rare insight into US diplomacy in action. Burns recounts with vivid detail and incisive analysis the seminal moments of his legendary career, from the end of the Cold War to the collapse of relations with Russia, and from post-9/11 turmoil in the Middle East to secret nuclear talks with Iran. He makes an eloquent argument for the value of diplomacy in a world that is increasingly volatile. This memoir provides a unique perspective on the inner workings of American diplomacy, shedding light on the back channels of his profession and its significance in today's complex international landscape.
