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.
兩度獲得普利茲獎的鮑勃·伍德沃德(Bob Woodward)揭示了三場戰爭的幕後故事——烏克蘭、中東以及美國總統職位的爭奪。
《戰爭》(War)是對美國總統政治和歷史上最動盪時期之一的親密而廣泛的敘述。我們看到喬·拜登總統(Joe Biden)和他的高層顧問與俄羅斯總統弗拉基米爾·普京(Vladimir Putin)、以色列總理本雅明·內塔尼亞胡(Benjamin Netanyahu)以及烏克蘭總統弗洛基米爾·澤連斯基(Volodymyr Zelensky)進行緊張的對話。我們也看到唐納德·川普(Donald Trump)在進行一場影子總統任期,試圖重新獲得政治權力。
透過無與倫比的內部報導,伍德沃德展示了拜登總統在管理烏克蘭戰爭方面的做法,這是自第二次世界大戰以來歐洲最重要的陸戰,以及他在控制以色列與恐怖組織哈馬斯之間血腥的中東衝突中所經歷的艱難過程。
伍德沃德揭示了戰時背後外交和決策的非凡複雜性及其後果,以阻止核武器的使用和迅速滑向第三次世界大戰。隨著美國人準備在2024年投票,政治的激烈競爭加速展開,從拜登總統與川普之間的對抗開始,最終以副總統卡馬拉·哈里斯(Kamala Harris)意外成為民主黨總統候選人而結束。
《戰爭》對副總統的檢視毫不掩飾,展現她在努力擁抱拜登的遺產和政策的同時,開始為自己作為總統候選人規劃一條道路。伍德沃德的報導再次樹立了權威且具啟發性的新聞標準。
