Based on 18 months of reporting, Woodward's 17th book The
Price of Politics is an intimate, documented examination of
how President Obama and the highest profile Republican and
Democratic leaders in the United States Congress attempted
to restore the American economy and improve the federal
government’s fiscal condition over three and one half years.
Drawn from memos, contemporaneous meeting notes, emails and
in-depth interviews with the central players, The Price of
Politics addresses the key issue of the presidential and
congressional campaigns: the condition of the American
economy and how and why we got there. Providing verbatim,
day-by-day, even hour-by-hour accounts, the book shows what
really happened, what drove the debates, negotiations and
struggles that define, and will continue to define, the
American future.
