War, named a best book of 2024 by Associated Press, Newsweek, NPR, Progressive.org, Waterstones and an Amazon Editors Pick of the Year, is a revealing look at three wars - Ukraine, the Middle East, and the struggle for the American Presidency.
Written by two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Bob Woodward, the book provides an intimate and sweeping account of a tumultuous period in presidential politics and American history. Readers are given a behind-the-scenes look at President Joe Biden and his top advisers as they navigate tense conversations with world leaders such as Vladimir Putin, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Volodymyr Zelensky. Additionally, the book sheds light on Donald Trump's shadow presidency and his efforts to regain political power.
Through unrivalled reporting, Woodward details President Biden's approach to managing the war in Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East. The book also delves into the complexities of wartime diplomacy and decision-making to prevent nuclear escalation and a potential World War III.
As the 2024 election approaches, the political landscape intensifies, culminating in a showdown between President Biden and Trump, and ultimately leading to the unexpected rise of Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee for president. War provides an unvarnished look at Harris as she navigates embracing the Biden legacy while forging her own path as a presidential candidate.
Woodward's authoritative and illuminating reporting once again sets the standard for journalism in this eye-opening account of the inner workings of political power and conflict.
