About the Author
One of America's most enduring broadcasters, Emmy and Peabody
Award-winning journalist Geraldo Rivera is a Fox News
correspondent-at-large and host of breaking news specials, the
Geraldo Rivera Reports. He also provides weekly reporting and
commentary for FNC's Fox and Friends and Hannity. A native New
Yorker outraged by the terror attacks of 9/11, he left CNBC's
Rivera Live to become a FNC senior war correspondent, reporting
live from Afghanistan beginning with the initial siege on Osama bin
Laden's Tora Bora hideout, and broke the news ten years later that
the terror mastermind had finally been killed by SEAL Team 6. He
has reported extensively on the Arab–Israeli conflict and other
armed conflicts around the globe, including the 2003 invasion of
Iraq, one of eleven extended assignments there.
Rivera began his forty-eight-year television career at WABC-TV in
New York where he presented a series exposing the deplorable
conditions at the Willowbrook State School for residents then
described as mentally retarded. These historic reports are credited
with helping end the nation's policy of warehousing the
developmentally disabled.
Before becoming a member of the original cast of ABC's Good Morning
America, Rivera presented the first television broadcast of the
Zapruder film of the assassination of President John Kennedy as
host of ABC's Goodnight America. He then began an eight-year
association with ABC's 20/20 as senior correspondent. One of his
hour-long reports, "The Elvis Cover-Up," was for more than two
decades 20/20's highest rated. Between 1987 and 1998, he produced
and hosted Geraldo!, later called, The Geraldo Rivera Show, for
daytime TV. The winner of the 2000 Robert F. Kennedy journalism
award (his third) for his NBC News documentary on "Women in
Prison," and the Scripps Howard Foundation national journalism
award for another NBC special report, "Back to Bedlam," Rivera has
received hundreds of honors for journalism and community service,
including the prestigious George Foster Peabody, the Columbia
Dupont, and three national and seven local Emmys.
An avid sailor who circumnavigated the globe, skippered four Marion
to Bermuda yacht races, and took his vessel Voyager hundreds of
miles up the Amazon River, Rivera is a graduate of the University
of Arizona and Brooklyn Law School, and is the author of seven
previous books. A philanthropist whose causes include the care and
treatment of the disabled, he is married to the former Erica
Michelle Levy and has five children, four of them adults. Geraldo
and Erica live happily ever after with their twelve-year-old
daughter Sol in Cleveland, Ohio. Go Cavs.
"You have not lived a full and complete life unless and until you
have the opportunity to listen to Geraldo tell the stories of each
chapter in his life . . . The passion and love he has for this
country, our military, his work ethic, now almost 50 years on
television, makes him The Godfather of tough hard-hitting,
know-no-fear, go-anywhere reporting. The Geraldo Show takes us on a
journey. A journey that few people in life will ever get to go on.
A journey to some of the most remote places in the world . . . This
page-turning roller coaster ride Geraldo takes us on will truly
inspire every reader to want to dive even deeper into themselves,
to find that part of our souls that wish to be more courageous and
bold in the lives we live. "
—Sean Hannity, Fox News anchor and host of Hannity on
Radio
"With unrelenting pursuit, few were more dedicated to understanding
the War on Terror than Geraldo Rivera. A must-read to understand
the complexities of the battle overseas and the war over public
opinion here at home."
—Bill Hemmer, Fox News anchor
"The Geraldo Show is a poignant account of combat as seen from the
one person who has been there with our soldiers every step of the
way. He captures war as it was fought; in all its ugliness, all its
sacrifices, and all its heroism."
—John F. Campbell, General, US Army (Retired)
"I would go on an adventure with [Geraldo] anytime. The Geraldo
Show is just the ticket."
—Richard "Cheech" Marin, author and comedian
