About the Book

From jungle clearings to stately homes and anonymous airport hotels, Talking to Terrorists
puts us in the room w ith those w ho seek to change the course of history. Here are the
terrorists, secret agents and go-betw eens w ho make up the invisible w orld of negotiations
betw een terrorists and governments.
Across the w orld governments proclaim that they w ill never ‘negotiate w ith evil’. And yet
they alw ays have done and alw ays w ill. W hy then do w e ignore the lessons of this history
of clandestine communication, often w ith devastating consequences?
Jonathan Pow ell has spent nearly tw o decades mediating betw een governments and
terrorist organisations. Here he argues that no conflict – how ever bloody, ancient or difficult
– is insoluble. W ith attention to the lessons of the past, patience and above all political
leadership, they can be solved, even w here previous attempts have failed.
Talking to terrorists w ill alw ays be practically difficult and morally hazardous. But it is the
right thing to do. Draw ing on conflicts from Colombia and Sri Lanka to Palestine and South
Africa, this optimistic, w ide-ranging, authoritative book is about w hy w e should and how
best to go about it.
