i dont like long books that drone on  this is longer than i like but is a very quick read  chapters are short on specific subjects or discussions which moves the book as it chronologically tries to describe the crisis of the oct 7th attack by hamas on israel the ukraine war and eventually after more than 40 of the book the coming election that as i write this will be in 4 days  woodward is thorough and gets information others cant  the discussions inside bidens foreign affairs team is exceptional and you will come away from this book impressed by the steps and the logic of biden and his team  quite impressive when you hear their thought process  ukraine is a really touchy situation with the former president having discussions with putin  but putin invaded a country  and we knew to expect it much in advance and rang the bell of warning loud even though others including zelensky did not believe it  there are also great discussions with russians i might also mention the great discussion on lack of artillery and ultimately usage of the controversial cluster bombs  controversial to nato allies  not russia which has been using them all along  you walk away from this reading realizing exactly how impressive our cia sources arethe hamas raid followup and our desire to have input in to what bibiisrael will do next is impressive  highlights are how bibi is not listening and knows he stays in power as long as he is attacking even if he is killing citizens much to biden disapproval  but maybe an even better story is the night allies including saudi arabia shot down 100 missiles aimed at israel  surprising and very impressiveand finally woodward draws an opinion of who is best suited or rather who is not suited to be president  read this book to learn maybe his best
