Deep White House: The suspense didn’t quite compare to the identity of “Deep Throat,” but we now know the name of Bob Woodward’s fourth investigative work on the Bush administration, just three weeks before the book’s release.
“The War Within: A Secret White House History 2006-2008” will be published Sept. 8 by Simon &Schuster with an announced first printing of 900,000 copies.
Simon &Schuster is keeping the book under strict embargo — although such embargoes are often broken — and had even held back the title.
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.”
Woodward is also known for his Pulitzer Prize-winning reporting with fellow Washington Post writer Carl Bernstein. In the 1970s, they collaborated on the groundbreaking stories of the Watergate scandal that helped bring down President Nixon and on two best sellers about the Nixon administration, “All the President’s Men” and “The Final Days.”
