From jungle clearings to stately homes and anonymous airport hotels, Talking to Terrorists puts us in the room with those who seek to change the course of history. Here are the terrorists, secret agents and go-betweens who make up the invisible world of negotiations between terrorists and governments. Across the world governments proclaim that they will never 'negotiate with evil'. And yet they always have done and always will. Why then do we ignore the lessons of this history of clandestine communication, often with devastating consequences? Jonathan Powell has spent nearly two decades mediating between governments and terrorist organisations. Here he argues that no conflict - however bloody, ancient or difficult - is insoluble. With attention to the lessons of the past, patience and above all political leadership, they can be solved, even where previous attempts have failed. Talking to terrorists will always be practically difficult and morally hazardous. But it is the right thing to do. Drawing on conflicts from Colombia and Sri Lanka to Palestine and South Africa, this optimistic, wide-ranging, authoritative book is about why we should and how best to go about it.

Biographie de l'auteur :
Jonathan Powell has spent half a lifetime talking to people and organisations labelled as terrorists.
He runs Inter Mediate, a London-based charity for negotiation and mediation that focuses on the most difficult, complex and dangerous conflicts, where other organisations are unable to operate.
In 1997 he met Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness and became instrumental in negotiating peace in Northern Ireland. In 2008 he suggested publicly that western governments should open talks with the Taliban, Hamas and al-Qaeda. Today, he works on different armed conflicts around the world and is the UK Prime Minister's special envoy to Libya.
He is the author of two books, Great Hatred, Little Room and The New Machiavelli. He lives in London with his wife and two daughters.

Description du livre Paperback. Etat : Very Good. 408 pages. An inside look at the subterranean exchanges that occur between governments and terrorist organisations. Should go vernments talk to terrorists? Should they 'negotiate with evil'? Without communication, argues Powell, we will never end conflict. As violent insurgencies continue to erupt across the globe, we n eed people who will brave the depths of the Mindanao jungle and s cale the heights of the Colombian mountains, painstakingly tracki ng down the heavily armed, faceless leaders of these terrorist gr oups in order to open negotiations with them. Powell draws on his own experiences negotiating peace in Northern Ireland and talks to all the major players from the last thirty years - terrorists, secret agents and intermediaries - exposing the subterranean wor ld of secret exchanges between governments and terrorist organiza tions to give us the inside account of negotiations on the front line. These past negotiations shed light on how today's negotiato rs can tackle the Taliban, Hammas and al-Qaeda. And history tells us that it may be necessary to fight and talk at the same time. Ultimately, Powell brings us a message of hope: there is no armed conflict anywhere in the world that cannot be resolved. - A wi de-ranging, topical book that travels across the globe, spotlight ing terrorist negotiations in far-flung countries to illuminate t he scale and diversity of insurgencies. - Rich in first-hand ac counts and dramatic stories of terrorist encounters in the words of the participants. - Powell's first two books were insider ac counts of the Blair years; this is bigger and much wider-ranging.
