"A true James Bond story for our time, whose hero carries a voice recorder instead of a gun." - Helen C. Epstein, author. "Daniel Levin is a rarity - one of those people who know how the world really works - and his pulsating tale of a hostage rescue mission in the badlands of the Middle East is in a genre of its own." - Tom Wright, co-author of Billion Dollar Whale. "Like a true-life Graham Greene novel, Proof of Life is the behind-the-scenes story of intrigue, danger, kidnapping, and negotiation inside . one of the most complicated and tragic conflicts in modern history." - Janine di Giovanni, Senior Fellow at the Yale Jackson Institute and author. "For much of the past decade, Syria has been proclaimed the world's 'worst humanitarian disaster', but for most of us its horrors are so far removed from our daily lives that those words mean little. Nobody can say that after reading this gripping book by Daniel Levin." - Ian Bremmer, author. "Proof of Life is a penetrating portrait of how the Middle East operates through webs of power that dehumanize all but a special few. Compelling." - Karen Elliott House, Pulitzer Prize winner and author of On Saudi Arabia. "Daniel Levin was in his New York office when he got a call from an acquaintance with an urgent, cryptic request to meet in Paris. A young man had gone missing in Syria. No government, embassy, or intelligence agency would help. Could he? Would he? So begins a suspenseful, shocking, and at times brutal true story of one man's search to find a missing person in Syria over twenty tense days. Levin, a lawyer turned armed-conflict negotiator, chases leads throughout the Middle East, meeting with powerful sheikhs, drug lords, and sex traffickers in his pursuit of the truth. In Proof of Life, Levin dives deep into the shadows - an underground industry of war where everything is for sale, including arms, drugs, and even people. He offers a fascinating study of how people use leverage to get what they want from one another and of a place where no one does a favor without wanting something in return, whether it's immediately or years down the road. A fast-paced thriller wrapped in a memoir, Proof of Life is a cinematic must-read by an author with access to a world that usually remains hidden." - from the inner front jacket flap.
