There is no university for shadow diplomacy. It is taught in no school, and grants no diploma. It is learned in the field, through experience — the experience the author describes in The Invisible Line.
From Kissinger secretly negotiating the opening to China, to today's Qatari mediators, by way of the quiet architects of the Oslo Accords, shadow operators have always done what official diplomacy could not.
From Caracas to Tokyo, from Bangui to Washington: the hidden side of world diplomacy, and the price paid by those who practice it with no safety net.
Neither ambassador, nor spy — the author is a free man with no mandate but peace.
Volume II of The Invisible Line Collection.
