“Liberally drawing on his personal experiences in U.S.-Soviet affairs, the Gulf War, and Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, Ross explains the arts of negotiation and mediation. Statecraft is especially useful for readers lost in today’s mostly strategy-free foreign policy environment. Ross identifies the key ingredients of effective statecraft: clearly defined objectives and policy consensus within government; accurate, realistic assessments of obstacles and of the resources required to overcome them; and the systematic integration of all tools of power in a sustained and intense diplomatic effort . . . An important contribution to the vital debate about how the next president should define and implement foreign policy. One can only hope that this debate will include experienced and adult participants who will tale inspiration from Ross’ book.”—Chester A. Crocker, Foreign Affairs“An important book about how the absence of statecraft in Iraq and in the Middle East has led to the present deterioration in America’s international image throughout most of the world . . . In several well-crafted chapters, Ross details how the Bush 41 administration used statecraft to overcome Soviet resistance to a unified Germany, and to create a coalition that was able to confront Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait in 1990, without the disastrous results that embody the current debacle in Iraq . . . This timely and instructive book makes it clear that if there is to be a resolution of the many conflicts faced by the United States in the near future, statecraft must no longer be a lost art, but as Ross concludes, ‘it is time to rediscover it.’”—Jewish Book World"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
