5/10/2023 0 Comments The final days bob woodwardThis time, with the arrival of “The War Within,” the final volume in his four-part Bush oeuvre, the script is the same, but the headlines mask what is really newsworthy about the book. (He is now an associate editor.) Then there is the bump from exclusive interviews on “60 Minutes” followed by more televised amplification, an éclat that almost always results in a No. His “bombshells,” those fly-on-the-wall details from inside the power dome and classified memos impossible to obtain (for all except Woodward), are disclosed in multipart, front-page articles in The Washington Post, where for decades the author was an assistant managing editor. His books are “held back,” meaning that no advance copies are available for reviewers and that pain-of-death secrecy vows are extracted from book review editors. The Bob Woodward rollout is always strictly scripted.
