Our new book about Congressional and Senate investigations from George Washington to January 6, including the Watergate hearings, KKK, Enron, Mafia. It's a great lens for American history and reminder of the vital importance of checks and balances. amzn.to/4iBC8yC

A wonderful review of @fmkaplan's A Capital Calamity from @MiniverPress
Bill Thompson considers "A Capital Calamity," the new spy farce by Fred Kaplan: "Fred Kaplan is only fictionalizing a milieu he knows well as the War Stories columnist for 'Slate.'" lareviewofbooks.org/article/…

With eternal gratitude to @withanxbooks and @MiniverPress for making me an author in the first place. Without the confidence they gave me this one doesn't exist. Please support them, please take a chance on their books, they support good artists and topics in need of exploration.

Great interview with @fmkaplan about his sharp, funny satiric novel A Capital Calamity, “a Jane Austen meets Dr. Strangelove comedy of D.C. manners." Many thanks to @deborahkalb deborahkalbbooks.blogspot.co…

I’ve learned so much from Fred Kaplan’s knowing dissections of D.C. politics over the years, but A CAPITAL CALAMITY finally reveals the full range of his insights and talents. Think MICHAEL CLAYTON and THE INSIDER… but funny.
Lawrence Freedman reviews my book A CAPITAL CALAMITY in ForeignAffairs: "An experienced observer of Washington, Kaplan skewers the Beltway effectively in his satirical novel, a thriller and morality tale that affords some light relief in dark times." amazon.com/Capital-Calamity-…

Hey, @amazon! Your author page mixes up two different Fred Kaplans, and your "Submit feedback for this page" leads to an error message: Sorry, this survey is not currently active. Can you fix?

My novel, "A Capital Calamity," is out. In his What to Read This Week newsletter, @IanBremmer, president of Eurasia Group, likens it to an updated version of "Dr. Strangelove," hailing its "cocktail of biting humor and existential dread." amazon.com/Capital-Calamity-…

My old foreign policy travel mate @fmkaplan, who writes the valuable ``War Stories'' column for Slate, has just published a novel that I am diving into: ``A Capital Calamity.'' @JamesFallows described it as the cast of Veep starring in a Tom Clancy book. Definitely worth a read. amazon.com/Capital-Calamity-…

Watching my already-brilliant, already-accomplished dad jump so joyfully and cleverly into fiction has been so much fun to watch, and also so, so much fun to read. A Capital Calamity by @fmkaplan, a Washington insider caper, is on sale today! amazon.com/Capital-Calamity-…
My new novel, "A Capital Calamity," is on sale today. Joe Weisberg, creator of "The Americans," calls it "a joyful romp...One of our best political commentators has morphed into a brilliant, irresistible comic novelist." amazon.com/Capital-Calamity-…
