Bob Woodward, together with Carl Bernstein, earned a Pulitzer Prize for The Washington Post in 1973 for his investigative reporting on the Watergate scandal.

Most recently, Woodward, the #1 international bestselling author of Fear: Trump in the White House, has uncovered the precise moment the president was warned that the Covid-19 epidemic would be the biggest national security threat to his presidency. In dramatic detail, Woodward takes readers into the Oval Office as Trump’s head pops up when he is told in January 2020 that the pandemic could reach the scale of the 1918 Spanish Flu that killed 675,000 Americans.
