In March 1984 Jerry Levin, bureau chief for CNN, was kidnapped in Beirut but no one knew who did it or why. His wife Sis, at first waiting for quiet diplomacy as advised by the State Department, then realised after the Iran-Contra affair that the US government's idea of quiet diplomacy was neither diplomatic nor effective. In the following months, as more Americans were kidnapped, she would travel to Syria and talk about peace, reconciliation and her concern for the children of the war. Her life tuned into a spy novel with strange meetings with Jesse Jackson, Syria's Foreign Minister, Lebanon's Shiite army leader and many more. 13. Near Fine/Very Good.
