Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller

Two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Bob Woodward delivers an eye-opening, behind-the-scenes narrative exploring the intricate dynamics of Ukraine, the Middle East, and the American presidency, offering unparalleled insights into political intrigue and global strategy from one of the most authoritative voices in political journalism today.

War is a “harrowing, riveting” (The New York Times) account of one of the most tumultuous periods in presidential politics in American history.

We see President Joe Biden and his top advisers in tense conversations with Russian president Vladimir Putin, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky. We also see Donald Trump conducting a shadow presidency and seeking to regain political power ahead of the 2024 elections.

With unrivaled, inside-the-room reporting, Woodward shows President Biden’s approach to managing the war in Ukraine, the most significant land war in Europe since World War II, and his tortured path to contain the bloody Middle East conflict between Israel and the terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah.

Woodward reveals the extraordinary complexity and consequence of wartime back-channel diplomacy and decision-making to deter the use of nuclear weapons and a rapid slide into World War III.

The raw cage-fight of politics accelerates leading up to the presidential election in 2024, starting between President Biden and Trump, and ending with the unexpected elevation of Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee for president.

War provides an unvarnished examination of the vice president as she tries to embrace the Biden legacy and policies while beginning to chart a path of her own as a presidential candidate.

Woodward’s reporting once again sets the standard for journalism at its most authoritative and illuminating.

Recensies van critici

"Having narrated the three previous presidential histories by Bob Woodward, Robert Petkoff is familiar with the author’s cadence and tone. His reading of WAR is crisp, confident, and streamlined. He reports on the Biden presidency, focusing on three conflicts that will change the world: the Ukraine conflict and how the superpowers stumbled into it; the Israeli–Hamas dispute and how Netanyahu misled the U.S.; and the 2024 election, in which Woodward concludes that Trump is “unfit to run the country.” WAR also traces signs of Biden’s deteriorating health as early as June 2023. The audiobook was frightening to listen to before the election, but hearing WAR now, after all the ballots have been counted, may prove even more terrifying to some listeners."

Meest relevant
Das Hörbuch erzeugt ein Gefühl wie Florian Ellies 1913. zu Beginn werden die Protagonisten platziert und ihre Geschichte teilweise mehr oder weniger detalliert. Biden, Trump, Putin, Selenski, Macron...
Merkel und Scholzi, weniger (gelinde ausgedrückt). "War" macht deutlich, wie gering die deutsche Beteiligung war.
VORSICHT SPOILER: Der BND-Chef war am Tag des Beginns der russischen Invasion in der Ukraine und musste mit grossem Aufwand evakuiert werden, weil der Luftraum von Moskau kontrolliert wurde. SPOILER ENDE
"War" lässt sich gut hören, ist erschreckend, weil es schon früh klar war, was Putin vorhat. Ja, Bob Woodward ist Amerikaner und vielleicht hat er nicht die Einsicht in die deutsche Aussenpolitik.
Vielleicht ist ein deutsches Antwortbuch sinnvoll, Frau Baerbock oder Herr Ellies. Würde mir von Ihnen sogar eine Kooperation wünschen.

Die Rolle Deutschlands?

Interesting inside perspective on the presidential election campaign in the US and the current trouble spots in Ukraine and the Middle East, even if much was already known.
Somewhat unexpected: almost a song of praise for the Biden administration, at least when it comes to foreign policy.

However, listening to this audiobook leaves an uneasy feeling with regard to Trump's upcoming second term in office,
