This review critically engages with Hirschfeld's work, which primarily provides an analysis of Track-Two diplomacy efforts from 1978-2014 in the context of the Israel-Palestine dispute. The review captures the framework of the book, which explains the historical context of each mediation engagement, the actors and political ideologies at play, the process of track-two engagements and a reflective section, outlining the successes, failures and lessons learned from decades of track-two experiences.
