Making peace in the long-troubled Middle East is likely to be one of the top priorities of the next American president. He will need to take account of the important lessons from past attempts, candidly described by Ambassador Martin Indyk.
Ambassador Indyk gives vivid details of high-level meetings, showing how difficult it can be for American presidents to understand the motives and intentions of regional leaders and how easy it is for them to miss the rare opportunities for progress. As a new administration takes power, this experienced diplomat distills the lessons of past failures to chart a new way forward.
