Negotiating With Evil: When to Talk to Terrorists September 20, 2010

Over the past three years, Mitchell B. Reiss has traveled to some of the world's hotbeds of terrorist activity, including Ireland, Spain, Sri Lanka, Israel/Palestine and Iraq. He has interviewed hundreds of world leaders across the spectrum--from major political leaders to terrorist groups--ranging from General David Petraeus to Gerry Adams, from ETA, and Hamas leaders. In 'Negotiating With Evil,' Reiss distills his experience, being at the center of some of America's most sensitive diplomatic negotiations, and provides his answer to two questions that are more vital today than ever: Should we talk to terrorists? And if we do, how should we conduct the negotiations in order to gain what we want?
