A keen Dodgers fan, he reported on their games over the 1952 and 1953 seasons. He became sports editor for Newsweek in 1956, and editor-at-large of the Saturday Evening Post in 1963.

In addition to The Boys of Summer, Kahn wrote books such as Good Enough to Dream, a chronicle of his year as the owner of a minor league baseball franchise. Kahn's 2006 book Into My Own is a memoir describing friendships with Robert Frost, Jackie Robinson, Pee Wee Reese, and Eugene McCarthy. He has won the E. P. Dutton Award for best sports magazine article of the year five times, and tied for first once. More

He received a Ph.D. (1983) in political science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 1982, he contributed to "War and Peace in the Nuclear Age," a Sunday Boston Globe Magazine special report on the U.S.-Soviet nuclear arms race that received the Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting in 1983. His book on the individuals who created American nuclear strategy in the late 1940s and '50s, The Wizards of Armageddon, won the Washington Monthly Political Book of the Year award. He published Daydream Believers in 2008, a work which analyzes the George W. Bush administration's use of Cold War tactics in post-9/11 military activities. In late 2012, Kaplan published The Insurgents: David Petraeus and the Plot to Change the American Way of War, which examines how General David Petraeus attempted to implement new thinking in Afghanistan and Iraq regarding the traditional clear and hold counter-insurgency strategy and the individuals who defined it. In 2009, he published 1959: The Year Everything Changed. The book argues that history was not changed by the counter-culture movements of the 1960s but rather by artistic, scientific, political, & economics events occurring in the year 1959. More

Jacob Katz (born 15 November 1904 in Magyargencs, Hungary, died 20 May 1998 in Israel) was a Jewish historian and educator. He established the history curriculum used in Israel's High Schools. Katz deployed sociological methods in his study of Jewish communities, with special attention to changes in Jewish law and Orthodoxy. He pioneered the modern study of Orthodoxy and its formation in reaction to Reform Judaism. In the year 1945 Jacob Katz presented to a conference of historians his article "Marriage and Sexual Relations at the close of the Middle Ages". Katz had already been credited with a few articles in the fields of education, psychology, and pedagogy, and their publication had given him a good reputation in the field. Ben-Zion Dinur encouraged Katz not to give up on his research even in the absence of an academic post. With hindsight it is possible to claim that Katz's article on "Marriage and Sexual Relations" in Zion paved the way for his joining the faculty of Hebrew University. Katz became a specialist in Jewish-gentile relations, the Jewish Enlightenment, anti-Semitism, and the Holocaust. His works provide much of the basis for scholarly analyses of anti-Semitism. More
