'What would happen if the president of the U.S.A. went stark-raving mad?' The 1965 bestselling political thriller, back by popular demand
Fletcher Knebel is the author of the number one bestseller Seven
Days in May (with Charles W. Bailey II) and more than a dozen other
works of fiction. From 1937 to 1964, he worked as a Washington
correspondent for numerous American newspapers and magazines. He
served as an air combat intelligence officer in the U.S. Navy
during the Second World War, and later wrote a popular daily
column, 'Potomac Fever', which satirised national politics and
government.
In 1964, the year during which he wrote the New York Times
bestselling thriller Night of Camp David, he was named president of
the Gridiron Club, one of the oldest and most prestigious
organisations for journalists in Washington. Born in Dayton, Ohio,
in 1911, Knebel graduated from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio,
and died in 1993 at the age of eighty-one.
