BIOG: Simon Reeve is a broadcaster and New York Times bestselling author. In the last few years he has travelled to dozens of countries, including troubled states in the Caucasus, Latin America, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Far East and Central Asia, and been around the world twice for the BBC series Equator and Tropic of Capricorn.
Simons books include Tropic of Capricorn (published by BBC Books), and The New Jackals: Ramzi Yousef, Osama bin Laden and the Future of Terrorism, a New York Times bestseller released in 1998 that predicted the rise of al Qaeda and a new age of apocalyptic terrorism. His book One Day in September: the story of the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre, described by The New Yorker as "highly skilled and detailed", is also an Oscar-winning documentary movie. Simon has been awarded a One World Broadcasting Trust award for an outstanding contribution to greater world understanding.
