Synopsis
It has long been an article of faith that the United States does not talk to terroriststhat to peaceably approach groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Muslim Brotherhood would undermine our democratic principles and acknowledge extremists as legitimate political actors. Not so, argues Middle East expert Mark Perry. In Talking to Terrorists, Perry uses extensive interviews with Pentagon insiders to expose the fruitful history of covert meetings between the U. S. armed forces and major terrorist leaders. In so doing, he demonstrates that diplomacy with extremists may be the only way to end terrorism controversial wisdom we ignore at our peril.
