Diplomatic efforts to resolve the Afghanistan crisis began almost immediately after the Soviet Unions military intervention in that country in December 1979. Untying the Afghan Knot offers the first detailed account of the diplomatic process set in motion by that intervention and culminating in the April 1988 Geneva Accordsa milestone in multilateralism and United Nations (UN) peacemaking.Riaz M. Khan, a senior Pakistani diplomat, participated actively in all meetings on Afghanistan in the United Nations, the NonAligned Movement, and the Organization of the Islamic Conference, and in all of the Geneva negotiating rounds (18821988). Drawing upon his personal experience, official documents, scholarly literature, and press accounts, he provides a unique insiders view of these precedentsetting negotiations, which were often shrouded in secrecy and misperceptions.Khan examines the interests, positions, and behindthescenes maneuverings of the major playersAfghan governments and resistance groups, Pakistan, the Soviet Union, the United States, and UN mediatorsand assesses the impact of military and political developments inside Afghanistan and elsewhere, including the advent of Mikhail Gorbachev. Khans authoritative account of these critical diplomatic initiatives sheds important light on the internal dynamics of the multilateral Afghanistan negotiations.
