Around the World in 30 Minutes
Having covered the world and the U.S. for CBS for decades, Dan Raviv provides a high-impact, clear, unbiased, and surprisingly informative half-hour look at the Donald Trump era -- and what it means for Americans and our allies abroad.
America's New Role in the World: Fighting Terrorism, Rewriting Trade Deals, Questioning Alliances
Elections have consequences and perhaps none greater than the 2016 results: the start of the Trump presidency. Can America be "great again," when enemies and competitors are trying to trip us up? Will the United States get any cooperation?
U.S.-Israel Relations: A Solid Alliance, but What's Next for Israel?
In a unique and highly successful presentation, filled with facts and historical incidents that he ties together briefly but brilliantly, Dan Raviv (author of Friends In Deed) explains Israel's relations with all thirteen American presidents from Harry S. Truman to Donald J. Trump. There have been ups and downs, but it is a tremendously important alliance.
The Unacceptable Threat: Iran’s Finger on the Button
Israel is preparing all options, from working with the United States and Europe to tighten sanctions against Iran, to pinpoint airstrikes modeled on the Osirak success (hitting Baghdad’s reactor) in 1981. Israel’s intelligence agencies have penetrated Iran in many ways, and for now the main goal is to “buy time” in the hope that the Islamic regime will collapse.
Israel’s Palestinian Gamble: Whom Do You Trust?
Israeli intelligence was not shocked that Hamas took over Gaza, but predicting what happens next is far from easy. Israeli agencies closely monitor all the Palestinian factions, but Israel’s goals in the West Bank keep changing. Can Israel trust Fatah – Arafat’s gunmen?
Spies Against Armageddon: Inside Israel's Secret Wars
Global journalist and Middle East correspondent DAN RAVIV chronicles major changes in Israeli intelligence agencies’ priorities in his bestseller, Every Spy a Prince: The Complete History of Israel’s Intelligence Community. Complementing Raviv's work in Spies Against Armageddon: Inside Israel’s Secret Wars, and Friends In Deed: Inside the U.S.-Israel Alliance. Israel’s methods and motivations can be fully understood only when seeing how they developed over the decades. Bold spies have penetrated enemy capitals, and secret agencies felt a historic responsibility to protect Jews worldwide. Interviewing all the major players, and a multitude of minor players as well, Raviv expresses a balanced and deep understanding of Israeli actions at times of crisis.
