The Coup is utterly entertaining, a smart, very 21st century Washington story. The surprise ending is not just a great surprise but witty and believable and altogether satisfying.

Kurt Andersen, author of Turn of the Century and Heyday

 

Jamie Malanowski has written a biting and hilarious satire of the Journalistic-Political Scandal Complex. A hapless president and a hooker. An evil, conniving vice president, and a journalist horny for her next big scoop. They fall in and out of power while they fall in and out of bed. Where does Malanowski come up with this stuff?

Paul Begala, contributor to CNN’s The Situation Room

 

Malanowski's portrait of a master political double-dealer is as entertaining as it is scary.

—Publishers’ Weekly

Malanowski's sardonic humour produces some neat one-liners, and makes Pope's masterly manipulation of his fellow politicians seem disturbingly believable.''
