Price: $21.12
Customer Review:
As with his first 3 books detailing the Bush Administration's conduct of the Long War, Woodward provides an excellent first draft of history.

| 2. |  | State of Denial: Bush at War, Part III
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $6.99
Customer Review:
Bob Woodward drew heavy criticism for his purported 'death bed' conversation with Bill Casey (which Casey's own wife denies.) Woodward deserves more criticsm for his patronizing "criticism" of the Bush administration's post-Iraq war failures.
Woodward has long been held in high regard by the... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 4. |  | Bush at War
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $10.88
Customer Review:
For all the conservatives who give this book one star because it's "filled with lies," I feel compelled to point out that I am a moderate liberal who enjoys reading these Woodward books because they help me empathize with the Bush administration more, not because I want to demonize them or make fun... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

from Pocket
Price: $7.99
Customer Review:
I just finished this book a few minutes ago. All I can say is, "WOW!"
Having grown up in the naive period when we were inculcated with the notion that elected officials looked out for us regular people, it is hard to shake some of that naivete unless it's in print and in front of my eyes. And... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I have become interested lately in the various opinions handed down by the Supreme Court in the Guantanamo habeas corpus cases. I was particularly surprised by the vehemence of the dissenting opinions expressed. This lead me to this book, to find out more. Published in 1979, it documents the... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 8. |  | Veil: The Secret Wars of the CIA, 1981-1987
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $12.21
Customer Review:
When Woodward wrote this book in 1987, it was his first truly up-to-the-minute muckraking exercise since "All the President's Men" and "The Final Days" with Carl Bernstein back during the Watergate years. "Veil" covers the activities of the U.S. intelligence apparatus in the 1980s, leading up to the... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

from Simon & Schuster
Price: $12.21
Customer Review:
Well, I read a few books by Woodward. I haven't been that impressed by any of them. After I finished this one, I closed the door on Bob Woodward.
First of all I don't like the fiction type format for a history book. I realize that he and his staff of junior writers are trying to make it... more info | 3.0 / 5.0

| 10. |  | The Final Days
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $10.88
Customer Review:
The American body politic cuts the president a great deal of error slack. We witnessed that during the Watergate years of Richard Nixon and we see it again in the presidency of George W. Bush. Both instances also point out one major fact of the American political landscape. No matter what they... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
