Book excerpt: The Negotiator is the remarkable story of Gershon Baskin, an American-Israeli peace activist who made it his mission to liberate Gilad Schalit. Acting on his own initiative and in no formal capacity, Baskin drew on his ties to Hamas to create a secret back channel between the two sides. Through behind-the-scenes negotiations and clandestine meetings, nightly e-mails and frantic text messages, a great deal of persistence and no small amount of hutzpa, he succeeded where official mediators had failed, paving the way for the deal that ¿ ultimately ¿ brought Gilad home.
