Overview
War is Bob Woodward's revelatory account of three overlapping conflicts shaping the modern world: the war in Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas conflict in the Middle East, and the high-stakes battle for the American presidency. Drawing on unrivalled access to the Biden administration, Woodward delivers an intimate, meticulously reported narrative of crisis diplomacy, nuclear brinkmanship and political rivalry. It is a masterclass in investigative journalism from one of America's most trusted reporters, offering readers a front-row seat to history as it was made.
About the Book
In War, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Bob Woodward pulls back the curtain on some of the most consequential foreign policy decisions of recent history. Readers are taken inside tense, closed-door conversations between President Joe Biden and his top advisers, and world leaders including Russian president Vladimir Putin, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky. Woodward also tracks Donald Trump's shadow campaign to reclaim the presidency, weaving together the personalities and pressures shaping global events in real time.
With his trademark inside-the-room reporting, Woodward charts Biden's approach to managing the war in Ukraine, the most significant land conflict in Europe since the Second World War, alongside his fraught efforts to contain the brutal Israel-Hamas war in the Middle East. The book also explores the delicate, high-wire diplomacy required to avoid a wider escalation, including the ever-present risk of nuclear conflict. Combining exhaustive interviews, internal documents and Woodward's decades of Washington sourcing, War stands as an essential, unflinching record of a presidency tested by simultaneous global crises, and a vital piece of contemporary political history for anyone seeking to understand the forces currently reshaping world order.
