Prospect Team

Prospect is the UK’s outstanding monthly current affairs title—a home for fine writing, robust debate and considered reflection on the biggest issues of our time. Prospect was launched in 1995 and since then the magazine has grown and evolved—but the words of its first editorial still capture its essence: “Standing back from the scrum, Prospect will offer a different rhythm, an alternative journalistic ‘time,’ and a home for those writers who can see further than the rest of us.” Prospect has always been politically independent, with no party-political affiliation or agenda. It is owned and supported by the Resolution Group as part of its not-for-profit, public interest activities.

In 2006, Gilad Schalit was kidnapped by a group of Gaza militants. Decades of animosity and distrust thwarted any attempt at a prisoner exchange. THE NEGOTIATOR is the firsthand account of Gershon Baskin, who made it his mission to liberate Gilad Schalit. Baskin drew on his ties to Hamas to create a secret back channel and succeeded where official mediators had failed, paving the way for the deal that brought Gilad home.
