[edit] Writing career

Satloff authored or edited nine books. His writing has appeared in major newspapers such as the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times.

In 2006, he wrote Among the Righteous: Lost Stories from the Holocaust's Long Reach into Arab Lands,^[2] which reported that there were Muslims and Arabs who rescued potential victims of the Nazi-directed programs related to the Holocaust as well as those who collaborated with the programs. During the Second World War, there was Italian, French and German occupation of Egypt, Algiers, Morocco, Tunisia and Libya.

He has also provided commentary for major television network news programs, talk shows, and National Public Radio. Satloff is the only non-Arab to host a program on an Arab satellite channel: he is the creator and host of Dakhil Washington (Inside Washington), a weekly news and interview program on al-Hurra, the U.S. government-sponsored Arabic satellite television channel.
