He has won nearly every American journalism award including the Pulitzer for his report on the Watergate scandal. He earned a second Pulitzer as lead reporter for the team that reported on the aftermath of the September 11th terrorist attacks. Woodward’s latest book, The Price of Politics is an intimate, documented examination of how President Obama and the highest profile Republican and Democratic leaders in the United States Congress attempted to restore the American economy and improve the federal government’s fiscal condition over three and one half years. Drawn from memos, contemporaneous meeting notes, emails, and in-depth interviews with the central players, The Price of Politics addresses the key issue of the presidential and congressional campaigns: the condition of the American economy and how and why we got there. Providing verbatim, day-by-day, even hour-by-hour accounts, the book shows what really happened, what drove the debates, negotiations, and struggles that define, and will continue to define, the American future. In State of Denial: Bush at War Part III, Woodward provides his inside story of a war-torn White House, and how the Bush administration avoided telling the truth about Iraq to the public, to Congress and often to themselves. Commenting on the legendary Washingtonian’s record, the New York Times has said, “Bob Woodward is the most famous investigative reporter in America.” Newsweek magazine excerpted five of his books in headline-making cover stories, 60 Minutes has featured three of his books, and three of Join Us in Welcoming Bob Woodward’s books have been made into movies. Woodward was born March 26, 1943 in Illinois. Bob He graduated from Yale University in 1965 and served five years as a communications officer in the U.S. Navy before beginning his journalism career at the Montgomery County Woodward (Maryland) Sentinel, where he was a reporter for one year before joining the Post. He lives in Pulitzer Prize-Winning Writer Washington, D.C. with his wife, Elsa Walsh, an author and writer for the New Yorker. He has two daughters, Tali and Diana.
