 Dr. Danny Orbach is a military historian. A graduate of Harvard University, he specializes in the study of coups d'etat, political assassinations and military disobedience, and also in the dynamics of war crimes, military adventurism and the history of intelligence. His lastest books are The Plots against Hitler (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt), a study of the anti-Nazi resistance in the German army, and Curse on this Country: The Rebellious Army of Imperial Japan (Cornell University Press), on the culture of insubordination in the Japanese Imperial Army and the roots of the Pacific War. Currently, he is studying military adventurism in the East Asian sphere in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and is a co-author in projects on the dynamics of unplanned massacres and the transnational history of espionage in the twentieth century. He is also writing a book on Nazi intelligence veterans in the Cold War.

In addition, Danny Orbach runs "The Owl", a blog on politics and history in Hebrew, and the podcast "Triple Agent" on intelligence and espionage. He also contributes regularly to the Israeli media on issues of military history and national security.
