Two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Bob Woodward tells the revelatory, behind-the-scenes story of three wars—Ukraine, the Middle East and the struggle for the American Presidency. War is an intimate and sweeping account of one of the most tumultuous periods in presidential politics and American history. We see President Joe Biden and his top advisers in tense conversations with Russian president Vladimir Putin, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky. We also see Donald Trump, conducting a shadow presidency and seeking to regain political power. With unrivaled, inside-the-room reporting, Woodward shows President Biden’s approach to managing the war in Ukraine, the most significant land war in Europe since World War II, and his tortured path to contain the bloody Middle East conflict between Israel and the terrorist group Hamas. Woodward reveals the extraordinary complexity and consequence of wartime back-channel diplomacy and decision-making to deter the use of nuclear weapons and a rapid slide into World War III. The raw cage-fight of politics accelerates as Americans prepare to vote in 2024, starting between President Biden and Trump, and ending with the unexpected elevation of Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee for president. War provides an unvarnished examination of the vice president as she tries to embrace the Biden legacy and policies while beginning to chart a path of her own as a presidential candidate. Woodward’s reporting once again sets the standard for journalism at its most authoritative and illuminating. Review: Excellent narration - Excellent book. Got a ringside view of American power play and unfolding of two present day crises, Ukraine war and Israel-Palestine conflict. Review: Well-written. The well-designed Hardback first edition is a collector's item too. - The book was delivered today. For Rs. 600+, this well-made and solid hardback volume is quite reasonably priced. I have started reading it. Finished two chapters and it reads like a novel. And the author is a famous investigative journalist with impeccable record -- starting from exposing the Watergate Scandal in 1973.

Misleading !!
To anyone interested in reading this book let me tell you this is absolutely 100% falsified. I thought Bob Woodward would be credible enough to read considering his expose of the Watergate scandal. However, his bias and leaning towards Biden/Harris is absolutely clearly highlighted. Investigative books are suppose to be unbiased and based on clear rationale reporting this book even lacks that element. To sum it up he wrote this book as a campaign toolkit for the Harris 2024 campaign. This book is nothing but one sided designed to stabilise the Trump campaign. However it failed to make a mark as the actual mandate of the American people was with Trump. Don't read !

最悪。
届いた本は水濡れシミあり。最悪。しかし、先方の要請に応じて写真を送ったところ、善後対応で、追加支払無しで綺麗な代替品を提供してくれました。良好な対応に感謝。 Book with water damage! Horrible! However, they provided the clean new one to replace the first one wuthout any extra charges. Very fine response. Deeply appreciate

Woodward at his best
Ordered this book after the 2024 US election after reading Woodwards three previous books and thoroughly enjoyed it. War takes you behind the scenes of Joe Bidens presidency as he faces down the war in Ukraine, the Israel and Hamas conflict, as well as his preparation for a re-election campaign. Woodward also takes the time to take the reader to the world of Donald Trump as he prepares to make a political comeback. Flipping between the two made the book more enjoyable and interesting. When it comes to the 2024 election, there was immense detail regarding Biden and Trump's campaigns in the primaries, Trump's trial and felony convictions in May, the run up to and fallout from the debate between them in June, and Bidens exit and the rise of Kamala Harris in July. Highly recommended

Passionnant
Ce livre tient toutes ses promesses et il vous tient en haleine, même si le vocabulaire et les expressions américaines vous font consulter régulièrement un traducteur online. Vraiment édifiant quant aux divers personnages évoqués!

Absolutely fascinating
Even if you don't know that Woodward is one of the most highly respected journalists in the world, you would enjoy this book. An even presentation of FACTS, no leaning toward one political party or another in terms of what each American political party undertook. So much information that I never knew and that is never divulged by mainstream media. And Woodward is known for FACTS, not fiction. Would highly recommend this book for anyone who would like the inside view of what REALLY took place during certain times in American political history. PS I am a Canadian.

Another amazing insight into modern history as it unfolds
I read “All the President’s Men” after watching the movie on TV as a teenager, but didn’t seriously get into any other Woodward books until the Trump presidency. This one, like his others “Fear”, “Rage” & “Peril”, is indispensable reading. The access Woodward gets and the narrative he builds are amazing. He just reports facts and quotes the views expressed by the people that he’s interviewed, but unsung heroes emerge from the shadows and even the characters that are known to us have much more intense light shone upon them. Here’s hoping that light is indeed the best disinfectant.
