Satloff received a Ph.D from St. Antony's College, University of Oxford. He earned an M.A. from Harvard University and B.A. from Duke University.

Satloff is described by the New York Review of Books as “a neoconservative with very hawkish views on the Middle East”. [ [http://www.nybooks.com/articles/article-preview?article_id=19062 The Storm over the Israel Lobby] , Michael Massing, New York Review of Books, 8 June 2006]

Satloff lives in Chevy Chase, Maryland, with his wife, Jennie Litvack, an economist at the World Bank, and two sons, Benjamin and William. [http://www.publicaffairsbooks.com/publicaffairsbooks-cgi-bin/display?book=9781586483999]

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", [ [http://lipstadt.blogspot.com/2006/12/review-of-robert-satloffs-among.html Review] by Deborah Lipstadt: "The Schindlers of the Middle East" Washington Post December 10, 2006] 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 in those programs. During the Second World War, several Arab countries were under Axis influence or control. Libya was an Italian colony (effectively controlled till 1943). Algeria was then part of France, under the rule of the pro-German Vichy regime. Morocco and Tunisia were French protectorates. The war itself brought German troops to Libya to help the floundering Italian army and from there they occupied Tunisia and western Egypt.

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.
