Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Can An Unarmed Man Triumph In A Land Of Terror And Violence?Man Without A Gun Is The True Story Of A Single Un Diplomat'S Astonishing Highwire Struggle For Peace In The Middle East. Un Secretarygeneral Javier Prez De Cullar Called The Author More Of A Soldier Than A Diplomat. And, Indeed, His Life Is The Stuff Of John Le Carr Thrillers. But Man Without A Gun Is More Than A Thriller: It Is A Reallife Voyage Through The Maze Of The Secretive Middle East, The Inside Account Of The Political Maneuverings That Continue To Dominate Today'S Headlines, And The Moving Story Of One Man'S Struggle To Bring Some Hope To A Violent Land.In More Than Two Decades, Giandomenico Picco Negotiated An End To Wars In Afghanistan And Between Iran And Iraq With The Force Of His Decency And The Strength Of The Un. But Little Could Prepare Picco For The Danger He Would Face In Resolving The Lebanon Hostage Crisis. Negotiating With Terrorists Was Not A Matter Of Meeting Gray Men In Gray Suits In Wellappointed Offices. Picco Worked On The Ground, Alone. He Was Taken To Meet The Hostage Takers Themselves Many Times, Shrouded In A Black Hood, Racing Through The Darkened Streets Of Lebanon As Masked Gunmen Barked Orders.His Life Was At Risk, But He Was Well Aware That The Lives Of Dozens Of Hostages, Including Terry Anderson And Terry Waite, Were At Greater Risk. And Saving Them Meant Negotiating Facetofacepicco First Had To Win The Trust Of The Islamic Militant Leader Who Had Taken Them, A Wellspoken, Hooded Man Known To Picco Only By The Nom De Guerre Abdullah.The Details Of Picco'S Secret Negotiations Have Never Before Been Revealed; Until Now, It Was Barely Even Known Who The Kidnappers Were. As The Chief Un Hostage Negotiator, Picco Often Had To Make Splitsecond, Lifeordeath Decisions Based On The Promise Of A Masked Informant Or An Anonymous Official. Yet On The Strength Of His Own Word, He Managed To Forge An Unlikely Coalition Among Iran, Syria, Israel, And The Lebanese Groups To Win The Release Of The Captives.History Does Not Kill, Writes Picco. Religion Does Not Rape Women, The Purity Of Blood Does Not Destroy Buildings, And Institutions Do Not Fail. Only Individuals Do These Things. Man Without A Gun Is This Remarkable Diplomat'S Powerful Testimony To The Ability Of Individuals Also To Bring Some Peace To A Troubled World.
