The War Within:
As violence in Iraq reaches unnerving levels in 2006, a second front in the war rages 
at the highest levels of the Bush administration. In his fourth book on President 
George W. Bush, Bob Woodward takes readers deep inside the tensions, secret debates, 
unofficial backchannels, distrust and determination within the White House, 
the Pentagon, the State Department, the intelligence agencies and the U.S. military 
headquarters in Iraq. With unparalleled intimacy and detail, this gripping account 
of a president at war describes a period of distress and uncertainty within the U.S. 
government from 2006 through mid-2008. 


The White House launches a secret strategy review that excludes the military. General 
George Casey, the commander in Iraq, believes that President Bush does not understand 
the war and eventually concludes he has lost the president's confidence. The Joint 
Chiefs of Staff also conduct a secret strategy review that goes nowhere. On the verge 
of revolt, they worry that the military will be blamed for a failure in Iraq.
