Doomed to Succeed offers compelling advice for how to understand the priorities of Arab leaders and how future administrations might best shape U.S. Ross points out how rarely lessons were learned and how distancing the United States from Israel in the Eisenhower, Nixon, Bush, and Obama administrations never yielded any benefits and why that lesson has never been learned.

Dennis Ross has been a direct participant in shaping U.S. Today our ties to Israel are close-so close that when there are differences, they tend to make the news. policy has always emphasized the unbreakable bond between the two countries and our ironclad commitment to Israel's security.
