The Back Channel: A Memoir of American Diplomacy and the Case for Its Renewal

The Back Channel is a masterful diplomatic memoir from Joe Biden's nominee for CIA director, William J.

Burns.

This book provides an impassioned argument for the enduring value of diplomacy in today's increasingly volatile world.

With over three decades of experience as an American diplomat, Burns recounts seminal moments of his career with novelistic detail and incisive analysis, giving readers a rare inside look at American diplomacy in action.

Drawing on newly declassified cables and memos, Burns provides a unique perspective on the most consequential episodes of his time, including the end of the Cold War, post-9/11 tumult in the Middle East, and secret nuclear talks with Iran.

This book is an eloquent and timely story of a life spent in service of American interests abroad, and a powerful reminder of the importance of diplomacy in times of great turmoil.
