NEW YORK (AP) — Bob Woodward's next book, continuing a long tradition of election year releases, will focus on the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East and how they shape American presidential politics.
Simon & Schuster announced Wednesday that Woodward's “War” will be published Oct. 15. The publisher is calling the book an “intimate and sweeping account of one of the most tumultuous and dangerous periods in presidential politics and American history,” centered on President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, who is Harris' opponent in this fall's election.
"Readers are with President Biden and his top advisers in tense conversations with Russian president Vladimir Putin, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky. Readers also see Trump, conducting a shadow presidency and seeking to regain political power," the announcement reads in part.
“With his detailed, 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.”
