Ebook {Epub PDF} Back Channel by Stephen L. Carter

Stephen L. Carter’s gripping new novel, Back Channel, is a brilliant amalgam of fact and fiction—a suspenseful retelling of the Cuban Missile Crisis, in which the fate of the world rests unexpectedly on the shoulders of a young college student/5(). A back channel is an "unofficial negotiation that runs parallel to the official one. Typically, the official negotiators know nothing about it." What if a back channel negotiation, and not the "official" version between the U.S. and Soviet governments, was what actually resulted in the deal that dissolved the Cuban Missile Crisis?/5(). The tale grinds too slowly at turns and runs a touch too long, but Carter delivers a satisfying historical thriller with some nice cliffhanging moments.
