Worth the Read

I would recommend without a doubt

Passionate, engaging. One can almost feel the breath of the characters involved and can imagine as if was going through the scenarios.

It is not often you get the story from a true insider that had to keep his participation quiet

This book walks you down the long road to getting Gilad back, within the ongoing politics and violence going on all around the situation. Here is your chance to walk with him down that murky road. This is one of the Must Read books for your library.

Welcome back, Mr. Secretary!

Welcome back, Mr. Secretary. I am quite sure none of the leaders you will meet on this visit to Israel and Palestine will say “thank you,” so I will say it on behalf of all of the people of Israel and Palestine. We need you, even if we find it hard to admit.

Interesting Book

It held my interest. It was a detailed history of a very difficult negotiating process. Both sides did well.

Contextual reciprocity

What appears to be escalation of Palestinian violence cannot be separated from what appears to be an escalation of Israeli violence against Palestinians during the same time period.

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.
