About this listen

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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Loved the insider’s view of world events. I need more detail, but I suppose that’s top secret.

It seems odd timing - the election wasn't over, and wars were raging. Perhaps there was a desire to influence the election. Perhaps it was simply that you never know how long wars will last and there's a lot to say.
Interesting inside information.

No words just overwhelming concern. Wake up America I don’t think anyone is home in the brain.

Biden is underappreciated.

The stark contrast of Joe Biden's great leadership vs. Trump's moral bankruptcy. Trump will be remembered as the worst president in US history.

Excellent reporting by Bob Woodward.

An excellent behind the scenes reporting by the best in the business, Bob Woodward. This book should be a required college read for all international relations students along with journalism students. “Just the facts” makes a heck of a story. Much respect to President Biden.
