He is one of the most in-demand analysts on the subject of the Middle East.

Dr. Evans' 2008 bestseller was Jimmy Carter: The Liberal Left and World Chaos. It was followed in 2009 by Atomic Iran, Countdown to Armageddon, and in 2010, Dr. Evans entered the field of fiction with the thriller, GameChanger. His book The Final Move beyond Iraq debuted at #1 on the New York Times Bestsellers list in May 2007. It contained interviews with former CIA director James Woolsey, Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz, General Hugh Shelton, Mort Zuckerman, owner, U.S. News and World Report, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and a host of others.

Dr. Evans' book, Showdown with Nuclear Iran became a New York Times and Amazon.com bestseller. He is also the author of 30 books including the New York Times and Wall Street Journal, Time Magazine, USA Today, Amazon #1, and Barnes and Noble.com #1 bestseller, The American Prophecies, and the New York Times bestseller, Beyond Iraq: The Next Move.

Mike Evans has won more than fifteen national awards for his prime time specials based on his books. Evans is an award-winning producer, having produced eighteen documentaries on Israel. His most famous special "Let My People Go!" spotlighted Natan Sharansky, who was at the time in a gulag in Russia. Dr. Evans asked President Ronald Reagan to seek Mr. Sharansky's release, and the release of some 400 Jewish prisoners from President Mikhail Gorbachev. Dr. Evans also worked with a Dutch government official to encourage the opening of the doors of the Dutch Embassy in Moscow to the Jews of Russia.

Dr. Evans has met with over 52 leaders of nations, (including foreign ministers, ambassadors, prime ministers and kings). He has worked closely with Israel's prime ministers for almost three decades. As an advisor to Prime Minister Begin, he recommended Benjamin Netanyahu for his first government post. His recommendation followed a meeting with the future prime minister after his brother, Jonathan, had been shot in the back while leading the raid on Entebbe in Uganda. Benjamin Netanyahu is now serving his second term as prime minister of Israel.

Dr. Evans is a member of the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.

5.0 out of 5 stars Accurate details of U.S. Govt. relations with terrorists!, June 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Jerusalem Betrayed (Paperback)

A MUST read for Jew and Christian alike; linking the betrayal of the Jewish people by covert members of many areas of the U.S. Government, most notably the CIA, in dealings with Arab terrorists. Mr. Evans does an excellent and credible job of pulling the wool AWAY from skeptic eyes or providing accurate knowledge for those who did not possess it before. As we near the countdown toward the millennium, can any person of faith not deny the dangers made inherent in this book? As a religious (Orthodox) Jew and a grandchild of Auschwitz survivors, I am stunned at Evan's deep personal faith and simplicity in outlining how much YOU NEED US no matter what happens during the "final days." I personally have two degrees in Theology, one from a Christian University, the other from a Secular environment. I cannot stress enough the worth that a religious Catholic or Evangelical Christian could learn from reading this valuable political and spiritual text as we all become more aware of the "countdown" to our modern times.

3.0 out of 5 stars Some good, some bad, some factually challenging items, February 2, 2001

This review is from: Jerusalem Betrayed (Paperback)

It was an intereting treatise on the state of Israel. Certainly this has a Zionist flair. But there are a few things I find troubling about the book.

1. There are little or no foot notes and citations. Sources are quoted, but not identified. There are cases where news articles are refered to, but no citation is included. It is impossible to check the authors research. This is a problem for creditability.

2. Blaming the PLO for the Flight 800 crash is a stretch. Since no evidence is offered, only speculation, this is troubling. There are enough things done by the PLO to highlight. It is not helpful to use this type of conjecture to defame them even more.

The Author's bias is obvious, and there are hundreds of reasons to support an Israeli state. I am concerned that this only hurts the cause rather than helps it.

On a positive note, there is a very good synopsis of the history of the region, the different people who conquered Israel over the years that helps one understand the current conflict.

I am on a personal quest to learn about the region and its politics. I was glad to have read the book. I am not sure that I agree with all of the conclusions presented.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Truth Behind Israel And The Ongoing Middle East Crisis., December 29, 2000

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Jerusalem Betrayed (Paperback)

Mike Evans has very accurately described the background to current events in Jerusalem, Israel and the Middle East. I was very, very impressed with his depth of knowledge and his personal level of experience .

I was personally in Jerusalem in 1987, one week prior to the commencement of the original Palestinian Intifada. I clearly remember listening to an International Arab Radio Station broadcasting in English, what can only be described as outright incitement for all Arabs to rise up violently against the Jewish State. The rest is history with the Intifada beginning shortly afterwards.

I still vividly recall the shock and revulsion that I felt whilst listening to the radio broadcast. I was a stranger to the Middle East at that time and the cultures involved were somewhat 'foreign' to me. However, for the past thirteen years, I have studied Jerusalem, Israel and the Middle East in some depth and detail. I can subsequently only confirm the author's documented and personal views in this excellent book on the subject.

I can only strongly recommend this to every person who really wants to discover the truth about the ongoing crisis and it's implications for the future, which involve us all whether we like it or not. Some readers may find the contents alarming, but this should only challenge those who find themselves in this position to investigate the issues for themselves.

The real intentions of the Arab and Islamic worlds together with the hidden agendas of Western politicians are clearly outlined with evidence to back up every statement. The message has a considerable impact and one would be foolish to ignore it.

I have recently read two other books along the same lines which I can also heartily recommend. Both are written by another Middle East expert (Bible Teacher, Historian & Political Analyst), Mr. Ramon Bennett and are entitled 'Philistine' and most recently 'The Wall'. His insight into this subject is also remarkable.

The stories in these books are not what you see on CNN or read in the international media. They go far deeper and reveal the hidden truths behind today's headlines. Find out by reading for yourselves. Thanks for your time. Kindest regards to all.
