Today our ties to Israel are close--so close that when there are differences, they tend to make the news. But it was not always this way. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDennis Ross has been a direct participant in shaping U.S. policy toward the Middle East, and Israel specifically, for nearly thirty years. He served in senior roles, including as Bill Clinton's envoy for Arab-Israeli peace, and was an active player in the debates over how Israel fit into the region and what should guide our policies. In \u003ci\u003eDoomed to Succeed\u003c\/i\u003e, he takes us through every administration from Truman's to Obama's, throwing into dramatic relief each president's attitude toward Israel and the region, the often tumultuous debates between key advisers, and the events that drove the policies and at times led to a shift in approach. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRoss points out how distancing the United States from Israel in the Eisenhower, Nixon, first Bush, and Obama administrations never yielded any benefits and explains why that lesson has never been learned. \u003ci\u003eDoomed to Succeed \u003c\/i\u003eoffers compelling advice about how the priorities of Arab leaders can be understood and how future administrations might best shape U.S. policy in that light.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDennis Ross, \u003c\/b\u003e Middle East envoy for George H.
