War

NAMED A BEST BOOK OF 2024 BY ASSOCIATED PRESS, NEWSWEEK, NPR, AND PROGRESSIVE.ORG

"Bob Woodward books have been an election tradition for decades. "War," the latest of his highly sourced Washington insider accounts, made news with its allegations that Donald Trump had been in frequent contact with Russian leader Vladimir Putin..."-Associated Press

"Legendary journalist Woodward compares the Biden and first Trump administrations with behind-the-scenes revelations. A critical read to understand the context of the past four to eight years of American politics, War delves into the psychology of two presidents who held the same office but starkly different views on government and what America is and should be, both at home and abroad."-Peter Aitken, Newsweek

"There is a certain wistful quality about reading the latest bestseller that Bob Woodward has written about a U.S. president and national security....[It] also includes a report on Woodward's 1989 interview with Trump, conducted along with colleague Carl Bernstein from the Watergate era.... It reveals a Trump who, at 42, sounds remarkably like the Trump of today."- Ron Elving, NPR

"War by Bob Woodward is full of previously unreported tidbits showcasing the depths of Donald Trump's derelictions. Most of all, it is a harrowing portrait of the scramble by the Biden Administration to stave off World War III. Read it and realize how fragile and complicated the task of promoting peace really is."-Ruth Conniff, Progressive.org
