Bob Woodward’s next book comes out in three weeks: it’s entitled The War Within: A Secret White House History 2006-2008. Published by Simon and Schuster, it will be released
on September 8.

“There has not been such an authoritative and intimate account of presidential decision making since the Nixon tapes and the Pentagon Papers,” Woodward’s longtime editor, Alice Mayhew, said Tuesday in a statement. “This is the declassification of what went on in secret, behind the scenes.”



According to Simon & Schuster, Woodward’s book “takes readers deep inside the White House, the Pentagon, the State Department,

the intelligence agencies and the U.S. military headquarters in Iraq.”



“Based on extensive interviews with participants, contemporaneous notes and secret documents, the book traces the internal debates, tensions and critical turning points in the Iraq War during an extraordinary two-year period.”

Simon & Schuster has announced a first print run of
900,000 copies and is keeping the book under strict embargo. In fact, we just learned the book’s title today.
