Reviews

Tom Weiner Philadelphia Inquirer A great book...no one beats Woodward.
Newsweek A telling narrative of leaders in crisis.
USA Today Few if any other reporters but Woodward could have gotten this close to the decision makers.
The New York Times Authoritative...a lively, behind-the-scenes docudrama...filled with accounts of secret Pentagon meetings, political maneuvers, second guesses, and roads not taken.
San Francisco Chronicle Woodward gets inside the minds of [Washington's] players to see how our leaders really think.
The Miami Herald As always, world-class reporter Woodward rewards his readers with the thrill of eavesdropping on the power elite.
BusinessWeek Riveting...the book moves at the pace of potboiler fiction.
