Dov S. Zakheim is a former official of the United States government. Born December 18, 1948 in Brooklyn, New York, Zakheim earned his bachelor's degree in government from Columbia University in 1970, and his doctorate in economics and politics at St. Antony's College, Oxford University. He has been an adjunct professor at the National War College, Yeshiva University, Columbia University and Trinity College, where he was presidential scholar. He served in various Department of Defense posts during the Reagan administration, including Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Planning and Resources from 1985 to 1987. There was some controversy in both the US and Israel over Zakheim's involvement in ending the Israeli fighter program, the IAI Lavi. He argued that Israeli and U.S. interests would be best served by having Israel purchase F-16 fighters, rather than investing in an entirely new aircraft. Zakheim was signed a letter to Clinton about Iraq.〔() The American Way of War: Guided Missiles, Misguided Men, and a Republic in Peril, Eugene Jarecki, Free Press, 2008〕〔https://books.google.ca/books?id=qkhWBQAAQBAJ&pg=PA37&dq=%22stephen+cambone%22,+%22PNAC%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=HAYFVe_uKNHN8gWQ84C4AQ&ved=0CC8Q6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=%22stephen%20cambone%22%2C%20%22PNAC%22&f=false US Foreign Policy and China: Bush’s First Term, By Guy Roberts, Routledge, 2014, p.37〕〔() PNAC, Rebuilding America's Defenses, 2000〕 During the 2000 U.S. Presidential election campaign, Zakheim served as a foreign policy advisor to George W.
