About this listen

Across the world governments proclaim 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 with attention to the lessons of the past, patience, and above all political leadership, these conflicts can be solved.

The book contains many examples of talks and negotiations with terrorists. However, I had issues following the different stories that were told. The author jumped between different stories abruptly to try to make a point making the book a bit hard to follow. I found the book to tell too much details on stories and events with less emphasis on the main points/teachings/skills of "talking to terrorists" .

Details with many examples, but hard to follow
