Night of Camp David is a 1965 novel by Fletcher Knebel, author of Seven Days in May. It spent 18 weeks on the bestseller list in 1965.

Synopsis

In the novel, Iowa Democratic Senator Jim MacVeagh is summoned to Camp David by President Mark Hollenbach. MacVeagh, who is expected to become Hollenbach's next Vice President, becomes concerned because Hollenbach shows signs of intense paranoia. He erratically expresses his desire to develop a closer relationship between the United States and the USSR, and attempts to cut ties with American allies in Europe. Hollenbach believes the American news media are conspiring against him. MacVeagh is the only person who notices that Hollenbach's mind is crumbling, as the presidential advisors and politicians he attempts to warn ignore him. The sole person in possession of evidence of Hollenbach's mental decline is his mistress, Rita. Hollenbach puts both MacVeagh and Rita under an FBI investigation.
