Diplomats are often caught in the middle of international disputes. Some assignments are tougher than others. In this documentary produced for the BBC World Service, Lyse Doucet explores the recent history of negotiation with groups, regimes, or individuals who are shunned by the international community. In this portion, she investigates the role of U.S. envoys.
