The term "back door channel" has been in use since the early 1950s by government and foreign policy officials as well as intelligence operatives. It refers to alternative methods for official governmental, diplomatic entities and covert intelligence agents to communicate across borders.
Back Door Channels: The Price of Peace is the story of the interplay between the official government channels and those not in government, who acted largely behind the scenes of the peace process between Egypt and Israel. The process that began in 1978 was led by Jimmy Carter, Anwar Sadat and Menachem Begin, and is still holding today.
Tracing the confluence of facts that led to the Camp David Accords and the ensuing peace treaty of 1979, this book examines not only the powerful personalities that drove the peace process, but also the secret liaisons, communications, and behind the scene personalities that played important, yet seldom understood, roles in forging that peace agreement.
