Cocktails with Champions

Come meet Washington Post Spy Talk columnist Jeff Stein at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 15.

A former Army Intelligence officer in Vietnam, Stein has spent years as an investigative reporter, digging into the shadowy world of intelligence, defense and foreign police.

Stein has authored three books, including "Saddam’s Bombmaker" (written with Khidir Hamza), and has been a frequent contributor to periodicals ranging from Esquire, Vanity Fair, GQ and Playboy to The New Republic, The Nation and The Christian Science Monitor.

He also appears frequently on television and radio as an analyst on national security issues. Until late 2009, Stein worked at Congressional Quarterly, where he launched the online CQ/Homeland Security daily, served as national security editor and created SpyTalk.
