Obama's Wars

Obama's Wars (published in Britain with the subtitle The Inside Story), by Bob Woodward, is an account of Barack Obama's policies regarding the current wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Woodward, one of the world's most famous investigative reporters following his exposure of the Watergate scandal, has interviewed many of Obama's senior staff, though most of them are quoted anonymously. (Woodward employed the same 'deep background' reporting style for his books about Obama's predecessor, as did John Heilemann and Mark Halperin for Game Change.) Woodward was granted an hour-long Oval Office interview with Obama, as well as interviews with the presidents of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
