About Bob Woodward

A Pulitzer-Prize winning writer and accomplished political speaker, Bob Woodward achieved legendary status as a young journalist with The Washington Post when he uncovered the Watergate scandal during the Nixon administration. Woodward is the author of more national best-selling non-fiction books than any other contemporary American writer, the most recent of which, The War Within, 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, but ultimately worked towards a new strategy in the war.

In his presentations, Bob Woodward discusses the historic Watergate scandal, his revelations from the infamous Deep Throat – former FBI operative Mark Felt – and the series of events that led to the unraveling of a presidency. His behind-the-scenes perspectives on the presidency, Congress, the Pentagon, and the CIA also include an exclusive look at President Bush’s Iraq War plan. Woodward is a media speaker with unparalleled experiences.
