Review :
"Driven by the need to find less harmful methods to engage with terrorism, this book makes a valuable contribution to the literature on the use of dialogue to resolve violent conflict... its measured approach provides both a strong theoretical grounding and robust evidence for a position that will be shared by many mediators on the ground, and support for a less arrogant approach to dialogue aimed at conflict transformation."- Marie Breen-Smyth, University of Surrey, UK
