You are not meant to know how history bends-only to feel the jolt when it does. This book opens the door to the rooms where adversaries speak plainly, where secret diplomacy keeps leaders from cornering themselves in public and gives wars an off-ramp before they ignite. If you have ever wondered why official statements and outcomes rarely match, you will find the answer in the choreography of backchannel negotiations.

Produktbeschreibung
You are not meant to know how history bends-only to feel the jolt when it does. This book opens the door to the rooms where adversaries speak plainly, where secret diplomacy keeps leaders from cornering themselves in public and gives wars an off-ramp before they ignite. If you have ever wondered why official statements and outcomes rarely match, you will find the answer in the choreography of backchannel negotiations. Across gripping narratives-from Cuban Missile Crisis diplomacy to the audacious Nixon China opening, from a kitchen table behind the Oslo Accords secrets to the Muscat line that shaped the Iran nuclear deal backchannel-you will meet spy diplomats, unlikely mediators, and Track II veterans who practise the risky art of trust. Along the way, you will learn how signals are sent without being said, how ambiguity is engineered, and why the role of mediators in peace is both fragile and decisive. - For readers of serious nonfiction who want clarity over myth and method over slogans - For professionals who need a field guide to Track II diplomacy and accountable secrecy - For citizens who wish to judge when hidden talks serve the public good-and when they do not By the end, you will read crises differently: parsing signals, timing, and leverage with a cool eye-an analyst's lens on international relations realpolitik that is accessible, humane, and immediately useful. If public diplomacy is theatre, this is the backstage map.
Autorenporträt
Alessandra Vitale writes about power where it touches ground: at frontiers, on passes, along sea lanes, and across the quiet margins of maps. Raised between coast and hills, she learned early that place teaches its own grammar-one written in gradients, winds, and tides. Her work blends the patience of a map reader with the restlessness of a reporter, tracing how distance, depth, and access turn into policy and fate. She has spent years studying the cartographies of empire and the afterlives of borders, with a particular fascination for how ordinary people make extraordinary decisions under the pressure of terrain. In her pages, alpine tracks meet shipping ledgers; the Roman road converses with the satellite swath. Vitale's guiding belief is simple and demanding: before we argue about the world, we should learn to look at it. This book is part of that education.
