  Back Channel to Cuba: The Hidden History of Negotiations between 
Washington and Havana describes how serious negotiations have been 
conducted by every presidential administration since Eisenhower's 
through secret, back-channel diplomacy.  The book offers a key 
perspective on the normalization process underway and illuminates a 
fascinating passage in U.S.-Cuban relations as it happens.

  The authors will discuss how through extensive research, they 
uncovered hundreds of formerly secret U.S. documents and conducted 
interviews with dozens of negotiators, intermediaries, and policy 
makers, including Fidel Castro and Jimmy Carter.
