Modern Israel's founding fathers provided some of the boldest and most principled leadership of any nation. Today, the political destiny of Israel is more uncertain than at any moment since its founding.

In conversation with David Horovitz, Ambassador Dennis Ross and David Makovsky will discuss lessons of leadership reflected in their recently published book Be Strong and of Good Courage: How Israel’s Most Important Leaders Shaped Its Destiny.

Dennis Ross is an American diplomat and author. He has served under President George H. W. Bush, President Bill Clinton, and President Barack Obama. His most recent book is Doomed to Succeed: The U.S.-Israel Relationship from Truman to Obama.

David Makovsky is the Ziegler distinguished fellow at The Washington Institute and director of the Project on Arab-Israel Relations who has served as a senior advisor in the Obama Administration’s Office of the Secretary of State. This is his third book.
