Secrets: A Reporter's Memoir
Not yet published
Expected 22 Sep 26The story behind some of the most newsworthy stories ever, written by the man with more #1 bestsellers than any journalist of our time
Bob Woodward has reported on every American president from Richard Nixon to Donald Trump. His books have penetrated government institutions, informed the national conversation and shaped our culture.
In Secrets, Woodward tells his story—from his Illinois youth to his Navy service during the Vietnam War to his tenure at The Washington Post, where his reporting with Carl Bernstein on Watergate captivated the world and became the book All the President's Men. Like never before, Woodward takes readers inside his reporting on the White House, Supreme Court, CIA operations, and the Pentagon.
Woodward’s one-of-a-kind reporter’s memoir lifts the lid on his historic reporting relationships and secret sources, some spanning decades.
The New York Times said of Woodward, “The scope and depth of his work have earned him a unique place in politics and journalism as perhaps the most enduring chronicler of American presidents.”
Robert Gates, former Defense Secretary and CIA Director said, “He has an extraordinary ability to get otherwise responsible adults to spill [their] guts.”
