Synopsis

Did, in fact, an event heretofore never made public occur at Camp David on the evening of September 25, 1959 while Nikita Khrushchev of the USSR and President Eisenhower were engaged in a summit conference? Was this even, and not the downing of the U-2 spy plane, the real reason behind Khrushchev's actions of cancelling President Eisenhower's trip to the USSR, his storming out of the Paris Summit, and his highly publicized pounding of his shoe on the table at the UN General Assembly? The Secret of Camp David, the brilliant new political thriller from Donald B. Keelan, asks this prophetic question. His answers will astound you. Stationed at Camp David in September 1959, Marine Lieutenant Michael Ferguson is charged with the duty of protecting President Eisenhower and Chairman Khrushchev during the latter's historic visit to the United States. But when Ferguson confronts a lost "German tourist" in the woods near the presidential mountaintop retreat, a gut suspicion tells him he has seen this man somewhere before. The role this seemingly innocent immigrant plays in future history is a dangerous one, and Ferguson will forever ponder--what if he had stopped the man in the woods that day? Would the world be a different place today? The Secret of Camp David presents a fictionalized account, partially based upon recently released historical data from the files of the State Department and the KGB. An exceptional writer and storyteller, Keelan will have political intrigue fans and general fiction readers alike riveted with this spellbinding story of revenge, deception, and blind patriotism.
