In this year's Amos Perlmutter Memorial Lecture at American University, Dennis Ross and David Makovsky discussed their recent book, "Be Strong and Of Good Courage: How Israel's Most Important Leaders Shaped its Destiny." The book examines Israel's defining generation of leaders and how their character informed judgments they made when the nation was imperiled.
