The Commanders

It is impossible to examine any part of the war on terrorism in the twenty-first century without seeing the hand of Dick Cheney, Colin Powell or one of their loyalists.The Commanders,an account of the use of the military in the first Bush administration, is in many respects their story -- the intimate account of the tensions, disagreements and debates on the road to war.

Bob Woodward, an assistant managing editor of The Washington Post, has been a newspaper reporter and editor for thirty years. He has authored or coauthored eight number one national nonfiction bestsellers: All the President's Men, The Final Days, The Brethren, Wired, Veil, The Commanders, The Agenda, and Shadow. He lives in Washington, D.C.
