Politics & Power

Woodward's 2024 book — his fourth in the Trump-and-aftermath series — covering the Biden administration's handling of two simultaneous wars (Ukraine and Israel-Gaza) and the parallel story of Trump's continued involvement with foreign leaders out of office.

Core ideas
  • The book's Biden-side material is the most disciplined account yet of the administration's Ukraine strategy — the careful escalation management, the inter-agency tensions, the personal Biden-Zelensky dynamics.
  • The Israel-Gaza chapters land Biden as more conflicted with Netanyahu than the public posture suggested, with private warnings and frustrations not previously documented.
  • The Trump-side revelation — that he reportedly continued speaking with Putin out of office, and reportedly sent COVID test machines to Putin during the pandemic — is the book's most-covered news, though the sourcing has been challenged.
