From Publishers Weekly
It's one thing to tour the Soviet Union, and quite another to become a "citizen diplomat," who deliberately tries to improve Soviet-American relations through people-to-people dialogues, explain the authors. They describe the efforts of nine diverse Americans to break stereotypic "us and them" thinking, spread information and influence leaders on both sides of the Cold War. These unofficial diplomats range from writer Norman Cousins and businessman Armand Hammer to lawyer-biker Christopher Senie (who organized "Bike for Peace") and agrarian banker John Chrystal. The authors (Warner is a journalist, Shuman is president of the Center for Innovative Diplomacy in California) explore the rewards, difficulties and controversy associated with such work, and offer a rundown of resources and agencies.

From Library Journal
Central to the mission of "citizen diplomats" is a belief that the "best defense against nuclear war may well be a strong, complex, and durable web of relationships between peoples of the Soviet Union and the United States." This book offers a sympathetic account of nine such "citizen diplomats," from Armand Hammar and Norman Cousins to the late Samantha Smith. The well-written but uncritical stories depict the obstacles confronting individual diplomacy. Rising interest in transnational activity extends the book's appeal. However, the work begs the question of whether "citizen diplomats" have had lasting impact on Soviet-American relations. The appendixes survey most channels of private Soviet-American exchange.
