Industry reviews
Mr. Woodward, who prizes immediacy over analysis, rarely interrupts his forward-marching narrative with any sort of commentary that might situate events in a larger political or historical context. many major players...are underplayed or completely ignored.
New York Times - Michiko Kakutani (11/22/2002)
What's remarkable about Woodward's book is the same thing that was remarkable about many of his others--extraordinary access to secret documents, like contemporaneous notes of National Security Council meetings, and to high officials, including President Bush, who submitted to a 2-hour-25-minute interview of lively give and take.
New York Times Book Review - Thomas Powers (12/15/2002)
I doubt that any other history of a time of crisis has reproduced the words of so many of the leading participants so close to the event....But it is a history of a curious kind, lacking the essentials of a historian's work; context, analysis, a point of view.
