Two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Bob Woodward tells the revelatory, behind-the-scenes story of three warsUkraine, the Middle East and the struggle for the American Presidency.

War is an intimate and sweeping account of one of the mosttumultuous periods in presidential politics and American history.

We see President Joe Biden and his top advisers in tenseconversations with Russian president Vladimir Putin, Israeliprime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian presidentVolodymyr Zelensky. We also see Donald Trump, conducting
a shadow presidency and seeking to regain political power.

With unrivalled, inside-the-room reporting, Woodward showsPresident Bidens approach to managing the war in Ukraine, themost significant land war in Europe since World War II, and histortured path to contain the bloody Middle East conflict
between Israel and the terrorist group Hamas.

Woodward reveals the extraordinary complexity andconsequence of wartime back-channel diplomacy and decision-makingto deter the use of nuclear weapons and a rapid slideinto World War III.

The raw cage-fight of politics accelerates as Americans prepare tovote in 2024, starting between President Biden and Trump, andending with the unexpected elevation of Vice President KamalaHarris as the Democratic nominee for president.

War provides an unvarnished examination of the vice president asshe tries to embrace the Biden legacy and policies while chartinga path of her own as a presidential candidate.

Woodwards reporting once again sets the standard forjournalism at its most authoritative and illuminating.
