Dennis Ross, Middle East envoy for George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton, is now a fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. "Foreign Affairs "called his first book, "The Missing Peace," "a major contribution to the diplomatic history of the twentieth century."
""Statecraft" is full of insights about how the world works and why
U.S. foreign policy doesn't. Dennis Ross provides a refreshing
prescription for renewing U.S. leadership. A brilliant book at just
the right time."--Madeleine Albright, former Secretary of State
"Many may speak of statecraft, but few actually understand it.
Dennis Ross is one of our country's best practitioners of
statecraft. Now he has written about it. He offers important
insights into what made for good and bad statecraft in the past,
and offers an extraordinary guide for how to employ its tools. Even
more importantly, he applies it prospectively to demonstrate what
needs to be done (and how to do it) on challenges like the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict and Iranian nuclear weapons. Rarely
has a book been more timely or urgently needed."--Bill Clinton
"For the past two decades, Dennis Ross has been a participant in or
close observer of the major events in U.S. foreign policy. His new
book offers both insightful modern history and a senior
practitioner's guidance on how to deploy America's multi-faceted
influence to achieve the nation's ends. Whether student, scholar,
or struggling to understand America's unique ability to shape world
affairs, readers will gain from his pointed and perceptive
analyses."--Robert B. Zoellick, Former U.S Trade Representative and
Deputy Secretary of State "This is an essential book for our time.
With the rise of terrorism in a globalized world, the art of
statecraft is more critical than ever. But America seems to have
lost its touch for diplomacy. Dennis Ross is one of the nation's
most brilliant and dedicated negotiators. He explains the past
triumphs of statecraft, most notably during the administration of
the elder President Bush, gives useful rules for how to succeed in
negotiations, and envisions a statecraft that a future president
could use to deal with the Middle East and China." -- Walter
Isaacson, President of the Aspen Institute and author of Einstein:
His Life and Universe "For the past two decades, Dennis Ross has

"Dennis Ross is one of our wisest practitioners of statecraft. In
this well written account, he lays out the wisdom and skills he
applied in Republican and Democratic administrations, and outlines
the statecraft we so desperately need if we are to restore
America's influence and soft power in the world." --Joseph S. Nye
