| Summary, Etc. |
"The first major insider account of the high-stakes negotiations to free the hostages taken by Hamas on October 7--written in gripping detail by the American mediator who was in the room through it all. Having served four American presidents on matters of war and peace, Brett McGurk was no stranger to high-stakes diplomacy, but this was different. With American citizens missing, the hostages' release critical to ending the war in Gaza, and the desperate situation for civilians, McGurk and his team faced impossible tradeoffs at every turn. Caught between Hamas's maximalist demands and Israel's determination that Hamas could not maintain power in Gaza, McGurk and his colleagues worked relentlessly over fifteen months to get a deal that most increasingly thought impossible. Taking readers inside McGurk's discussions and negotiations with President Joe Biden, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, and presidents, generals, spies, and diplomats in Qatar, Egypt, Oman, and more, Brink paints a portrait of a region one wrong choice away from tipping into total war, as Iran and its proxy militias seized upon the chaos to open fire on Israeli and American targets. With the 2024 election reshaping the political landscape and time running out on the hostages, McGurk found himself working hand in hand with an unlikely partner--Trump's emissary from the New York real estate world, Steve Witkoff. They forged a bipartisan front when it mattered most--to secure a ceasefire and save lives."-- Provided by publisher.
