Bob Woodward, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, uncovered
The shocking truth behind the three wars that shook 21st-century world history.
The Ukraine War, the Middle East Conflict, and Trump
The power struggle surrounding the war to retake the White House

This book vividly and comprehensively captures one of the most turbulent periods in modern American history.
We witness breathtaking conversations between President Joe Biden and his top aides, including with Russia's Putin, Israel's Netanyahu, and Ukraine's Zelensky.
We can also vividly see scenes of Donald Trump acting as a shadow president and dreaming of a political comeback.
Woodward provides unparalleled insider reporting from the White House, providing a vivid account of President Biden's response to the war in Ukraine.
It covers the largest land battle in Europe since World War II, and also follows the president's perilous journey to prevent a bloody conflict between Israel and the terrorist organization Hamas.

Woodward reveals the incredibly complex decision-making process and profound implications of the behind-the-scenes diplomacy of wartime to prevent the use of nuclear weapons and the escalation of the conflict into World War III.
The fierce power struggle in American politics is accelerating ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
What began as a showdown between President Biden and Trump takes on a new dimension with the unexpected emergence of Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic presidential nominee.
Woodward's investigation once again sets a new standard for authoritative and insightful journalism.

On January 6, 2021, as rioters stormed the Capitol, President Donald Trump watched the scene on television from his private dining room next to the Oval Office.
His supporters scaled the walls of the historic building, smashed windows and used a battering ram to try to force open the main gate.
Outside, a gallows was being set up.
“Hang Mike Pence.
Hang Mike Pence.
“Hang Mike Pence,” Trump supporters chanted.
This was because Vice President Pence refused to certify Biden's 2020 presidential election victory.

“Chekhov’s gun” was the immediate thought that came to National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan’s mind as he reviewed satellite images showing an unprecedented concentration of 110,000 Russian troops on the Ukrainian border.
The 19th-century playwright Anton Chekhov famously said that if a gun appears prominently in the first act of a play, it is there for a reason, and it will inevitably be fired at some point.
It was April 2021, just three months after Biden took office as president.
Sullivan had just settled into his new office in the West Wing of the White House.

On Thursday, February 24th, Putin appeared on television before sunrise in Moscow.
He sat alone at his desk in the Kremlin, flanked by Russian flags.
“I have decided to conduct a special military operation in Ukraine,” Putin said.
“Anyone who tries to get in our way,” Putin continued.
“And furthermore, anyone who threatens our country and our people should know that Russia’s response will be immediate.
And that will lead to consequences you have never experienced in your history.” “Russia remains one of the most powerful nuclear powers,” he threatened.

In a March 4 interview with Fox News, Graham argued that Russians should assassinate President Putin.
He then posted on social media:
“The only way this situation will end is if someone inside Russia removes this guy.
“If you do that, you will be making a huge contribution to your country and the world,” Graham said.
The remark sparked a brief but heated debate.
Graham downplayed his remarks to others at Mar-a-Lago.
“I didn’t say anything that big,” Graham said.
“Who can doubt that the Germans would have been better off if they had gotten rid of Hitler?”

On March 4, 2023, Trump spoke for one hour and 42 minutes at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), an influential large-scale conservative organization.
The organization was founded in 1974, with then-California Governor Ronald Reagan delivering the inaugural keynote address.
“Today,” Trump said.
“I am your warrior.
I am your justice.
And to those who have been wronged and betrayed, I am your vengeance.” This was a central and central theme of Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, a promise to pay back those who felt wronged or marginalized.

When Blinken returned to Israel three weeks later, he made a concerned call to President Biden.
Israel's war cabinet has just announced plans to enter Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, citing remnants of Hamas battalions hiding among the civilian population there.
Rafah was home to about 1.4 million people, most of whom were living in squalid conditions in makeshift tents with open sewers, having been forced there by Israel's military operations in the northern Gaza Strip.
Where are they supposed to go?

Minutes after Trump began speaking at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, July 13, 20-year-old lone gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire from a nearby rooftop.
Trump reflexively put his right hand to his ear.
“Get down! Get down!” the Secret Service agents shouted.
Trump quickly got down on his hands and knees behind the podium.
Blood soaked his ears and ran down his cheeks.
Secret Service agents surrounded the former president and tried to evacuate him off the stage.

“Wait, wait,” Trump persisted.
He raised his fist in the air and mouthed to the crowd: “Fight, fight, fight.” The crowd erupted in cheers and chants: “USA. USA. USA.”
