Dan RavivSpeaker and Booking Agent Information

For four months, his Every Spy a Prince: The Complete History of Israel's Intelligence Community was on the New York Times bestseller list. His most recent book, Comic Wars, tells the complete tale of one of America's most acrimonious business battles: the bankruptcy of Marvel Comics.

This international espionage and foreign affairs specialist has conducted interviews with Sharon, Barak, Netanyahu, Arafat, Mubarak, and all of the main Middle East leaders.

He was in Beirut at the US Marine base attacked by a suicide bomber; in Lockerbie mere hours after the Pan Am plane was blown up; in Red Square with Reagan and Gorbachev; and with the Pope in Poland, Ireland, Africa, and Argentina. Dan is a wonderful treasure trove of interesting stories wrapped in an upbeat and endearing demeanor.

Dan is a well-known authority on America's connections with Israel. Friends in Deed: Inside the US-Israel Alliance, his book, ultimately explains why history, politics, religion, feeling, and strategy have brought the US and the Jewish State together. Dan's work has appeared in major publications such as The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Boston Globe, The Times of London, and others.

He graduated with honors from Harvard University and has received two Overseas Press Club of America awards for his coverage of the Persian Gulf. The Society of Professional Journalists honored him with the Sigma Delta Chi award for his coverage of the Bush-Gore electoral battle.

After 20 years as a foreign reporter, he is currently CBS News' National Correspondent, residing in Washington, D.C. with his wife and two children.
