For more than twelve years – in both the George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton administrations – Dennis Ross played a leading role in shaping U.S. involvement in the Middle East peace process. In a wide-ranging conversation with Geoffrey Kemp, Director of Regional Strategic Programs at the Nixon Center, Ambassador Ross talks about what Tony Blair must do to succeed in his new role as envoy to the Middle East, the failures of the Bush Administration to act as mediators in the region, his view of a “best outcome” in Iraq, and his just-published book, Statecraft, And How to Restore America’s Standing in the World.

Host> Geoffrey Kemp, director, Regional Strategic Programs, Nixon Center
