Dancing with the Devil: The Perils of Engaging Rogue Regimes

The Rogue Regime Talker is a groundbreaking book that exposes the flaws in traditional diplomacy and offers a fresh perspective on how to deal with rogue regimes.

Written by Michael Rubin, a renowned expert on international relations, this book provides a comprehensive analysis of the history of American diplomacy with North Korea, Iran, Iraq, Libya, the Taliban's Afghanistan, and Pakistan.

Through a detailed examination of the tactics used by these regimes to put Western diplomats on the defensive, Rubin reveals the common patterns and strategies employed by rogue leaders to manipulate and deceive their counterparts. The book also sheds light on the moral equivalence fallacy, which has plagued Western diplomacy for decades, and offers a compelling argument against negotiating with terrorists.

With a focus on the actual record of talking to terrorists, Rubin's analysis provides a much-needed corrective to the conventional wisdom that dialogue is always the best first resort. The Rogue Regime Talker is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding how to effectively deal with rogue regimes and prevent further instability in an increasingly dangerous world.
