Shadow by Bob Woodward

Shadow by Bob Woodward

A New York Times Notable Book of the Year

Twenty-five years ago, after Richard Nixon resigned the presidency, Gerald Ford promised a return to normalcy. My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over, President Ford declared.

But it was not. The Watergate scandal, and the remedies against future abuses of power, would have an enduring impact on presidents and the country. In Shadow, Bob Woodward takes us deep into the administrations of Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush and Clinton to describe how each discovered that the presidency was forever altered. With special emphasis on the human toll, Woodward shows the consequences of the new ethics laws, and the emboldened Congress and media. Powerful investigations increasingly stripped away the privacy and protections once expected by the nation's chief executive.

Shadow is an authoritative, unsettling narrative of the modern, beleaguered presidency.

Bob Woodward is an associate editor at The Washington Post, where he has reported on every American president from Nixon to Trump for the past 49 years. He shared two Pulitzer Prizes, the first with Carl Bernstein for the Post's coverage of the Watergate affair, and the second 20 years later as the main reporter for the Post's coverage of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
