Ambassador Philip Kaplan had a 27-year career as a diplomat in the U.S. Foreign Service, including being U.S. minister, deputy chief of mission and Charge d'Affaires, to the U.S. Embassy in Manila, Philippines during the tumultuous overthrow of Ferdinand Marcos. Now retired from the State Department, Kaplan is currently a partner in Berliner, Corcoran & Rowe LLP's Washington, D.C law office, where his practice is focused on public and private international law. He lives in Washington, DC.
"This taut and fast-paced novel has a particularly compelling
feature: Philip Kaplan, after a career in the State Department,
brings to his book a sharp political and international
sophistication--rare in thrillers, abundant in "Night in Tehran." -
Alan Furst
"Throw away the CIA analysis of Iran and instead pick up Ambassador
Phil Kaplan's brilliant novel, which illuminates the intricacies of
diplomacy, espionage, and high-stakes politics in the most
dangerous country in the world with clarity and drive. This book
should be required reading for senior Pentagon and State Department
leaders trying to understand the complexities of our relations in
the turbulent Middle East." - Admiral James Stavridis,
16th Supreme Allied Commander at NATO
"Kaplan dramatically shows how competing interests,
foreign manipulation, and domestic brutality led to the violent
overthrow of the last Persian monarch and one of the longest
hostage crises on record. Not just a snapshot in time, this
insightful novel is a powerful reminder of how Cold War strategies
continue to reverberate through the modern global landscape." -
