About this ebook
NAMED A BEST BOOK OF 2024 BY ASSOCIATED PRESS, NEWSWEEK, NPR, AND PROGRESSIVE.ORG
Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller
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.

In *War*, Bob Woodward glorifies Biden and casts Netanyahu in a positive light, framing their decisions as strategic while ignoring the tragic loss of over 40,000 Palestinian lives. The book downplays the severe military imbalance, offering a one-sided narrative that minimizes the true cost of U.S. and Israeli policies in Gaza.

Whoa! This is non-stop. The actual realities in this book, do serve to really remind us all of what Trump is truly about; what he wants, his behavior, and even some answers as to why he does certain things. There is also some horribly scary parts explained so well in this book, re Trump, that if fully true, then American hasn't seen nothing yet! Especially has not seen what Trump intends to do, this time, with all the levers of power and loyalists at his side. We need more than ever, to be the resistance, Congress needs to get a BACKBONE, all of them, and protect our dear Country, and what true democracy stands for, why it's so incredibly important! Thank you, Bob, for even more information this time. I pray to God we heed it.

More valuable reason to get a good idea of what we do get more life to my world cup final than the money for you
