Restoring America's Standing in the Middle East

The Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs sponsored a lecture featuring Ambassador Dennis Ross on September 10, 2007 at Georgetown University. Dennis Ross, integral in shaping US involvement in the Middle East peace process, discussed America's role, influence, and image in the Middle East. Ross also discussed his recently published book, Statecraft: And How to Restore America's Standing in the World, and followed this discussion with a book-signing.
