Bob Woodward’s “Bush at War” series consists of four investigative volumes that collectively document the national-security decision-making of the George W. Bush administration from 9/11 through the final years of the Iraq War. The first book covers the response to the September 11 attacks and the Afghanistan campaign; the second examines the planning and intelligence debates leading to the 2003 Iraq invasion; the third details the internal conflicts and policy failures that emerged as the war deteriorated; and the fourth focuses on the administration’s struggle to devise and execute the 2007 troop “surge” strategy amid deep fractures among Bush’s civilian and military advisors.
