War

‘[Woodward] still doing what he does best: ferreting through Washington’s corridors of power’ * Times - ‘Best political/crime books of 2024’ *‘The 81-year-old Watergate warhorse proves he still has his fastball. War bristles with scoops’ * New Statesman - ‘Books of the Year 2024’ *‘A sober but alarming must-read’ – Lloyd Green * Guardian *“This is harrowing, riveting stuff … Though he specializes in real-time suspense, Woodward doesn’t write cliffhangers. His impulse – his talent – is to impose an arc and a moral on the mess and sprawl of very recent history. This time around, his stated conclusions are unambiguous: ‘Donald Trump is not only the wrong man for the presidency,’ he writes, ‘he is unfit to lead the country.’ In contrast, ‘Biden and his team will be largely studied in history as an example of steady and purposeful leadership.’ Those judgments sound authoritative. They also sound wishful’ – A.O. Scott * New York Times *‘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 *
