This is a fascinating story about private lawyers successfully
negotiating with Russian professionals about critical nuclear arms
problems during the Cold War from 1983 to 1991. The lawyers
demonstrated that committed citizen diplomats could have an
influence on official policies when governments were unable or
unwilling to negotiate. These delegates produced and distributed
scholarly, technically accurate joint papers recommending
approaches and solutions to nuclear arms problems which the
governments had not resolved because of relations poisoned by fear
and distrust. The book describes the extensive efforts of these
Track II citizen-diplomats to offset anti-American propaganda
permeating Soviet society. It is a 'how to' manual for
non-governmental organizations concerned with funding, organizing
and managing international conferences on complicated, urgent
problems.
