As always, John and Meredith Dale are caught in the middle. Mossad—the Israeli intelligence agency—wants Meredith's help to find the lead Iranian rocket scientist; while John is in a desperate race to keep Kasem one step ahead of an Iranian hit squad.

His one demand: a reunion with the only handler he ever trusted, John Dale—Meredith's disgraced, fired, wayward ex-husband. As Meredith and John struggle through their fraught relationship, a craven CIA political hierarchy, Russian interference, and the rogue spy’s manipulation, they must reach deep within their shared connection to maintain, recover, or kill the asset.

      Spymaster! William J. Casey, brilliant and ruthless head of the CIA from 1981 to 1987, was arguably the most powerful Director in the agency’s forty-year history. Sharing with his President a determination to reshape the world, and given a totally free hand, Casey staged a series of covert operations shocking in their range and audacity. Nicaragua, Iran, Libya, Grenada, the Falklands—these were his battlegrounds; treachery, deception, bribery, even assassination his tools. Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Bob Woodward had extensive access to this controversial figure who, in some fifty interviews, unleashed a one-man flood of classified information on the CIA and its interaction with the US government. The result is a classic study of the relationship between the management of the world’s most sophisticated espionage apparatus and the making of foreign policy. It has all the fast-paced excitement and intrigue of a first class spy story. —from the back cover Includes Index and photos

    • "In Maestro, Bob Woodward uses his interviewing and research techniques to take you inside the Fed and Greenspan's thinking. We listen to the Fed's internal debates as the American economy is pushed into a historic 10-year expansion while the world economy lurches from financial crisis to financial crisis. Greenspan plays a sometimes subtle, sometimes blunt behind-the-scenes role. He appears in Maestro up close as never before - alternatively nervous and calm, plunging into mathematics one moment and politics the next, skeptical, dispassionate, always struggling - often alone. As Greenspan tells himself, "If you're not nervous, you shouldn't be here."". "Maestro traces a journey as Greenspan, an old-school anti-inflation hawk of the traditional economy, is among the first to realize the potential in the modern, high-productivity new economy - the foundation of the current American boom. Woodward presents the Greenspan years, 1987-2000, as a gripping narrative, a remarkable portrait of a man who has become the symbol of American economic preeminence."--BOOK JACKET.

      In Washington, D.C., where secrets are hard to keep, the identity of Deep Throat, the source who aided Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in uncovering the Watergate scandal, remained concealed for 33 years. Woodward recounts his intricate relationship with W. Mark Felt, the former No. 2 at the FBI, who played a pivotal role in ending Richard Nixon's presidency. From their initial encounter in the Nixon White House to clandestine meetings in an underground garage, the narrative spans the aftermath of Watergate and Felt's eventual revelation at age 91. A former admirer of J. Edgar Hoover, Felt found himself entangled in a significant power struggle as Nixon's administration sought to control the FBI and obscure its crimes. The book delves into the clash between fleeting political power and the enduring bureaucracy of government, exploring Felt's motivations as he became Deep Throat, confirming Woodward and Bernstein's findings and illuminating Nixon's extensive criminal activities. Woodward also reflects on his evolving relationship with Felt amid legal troubles, including Felt's trial and subsequent pardon by Ronald Reagan. This exploration of trust, deception, and a lifetime of secrets reveals Woodward's personal struggles in understanding his bond with this extraordinary source, ultimately shedding light on one of the final chapters of Watergate.

      Hij volgde al acht Amerikaanse presidenten, van wie er één, Nixon, door zijn onthullingen, moest aftreden; maar nooit eerder schreef de gelauwerde journalist Bob Woodward zo vernietigend over een zittende Amerikaanse president als over Donald Trump in Angst. Aan de hand van verslagen, dagboeken, documenten en honderden uren van interviews met primaire bronnen beschrijft Woodward de verbijsterende gang van zaken in het Witte Huis, en de bizarre manier waarop de president besluiten neemt over binnen- en buitenlandse kwesties. Nog nooit is er een zo beangstigend beeld gegeven van een president in zijn eerste jaren als in Angst van Bob Woodward. Nadat delen ervan voor publicatie uitlekten, stond het boek direct op de eerste plaats van de bestsellerlijsten in de Verenigde Staten en Engeland. Bob Woodward (1943) is sinds 1971 werkzaam voor The Washington Post. Voor zijn werk aan de onthullingen rondom Watergate en de nasleep van 11 september kreeg hij beide een Pulitzerprijs. "In Woodwards boek wordt de werkelijkheid zoals we die al een tijdje vermoedden, onderbouwd en van getuigen voorzien: de Verenigde Staten en de wereld zitten opgescheept met een levensgevaarlijke idioot, die volstrekt ongeschikt is voor het vak dat hij beoefent: machtigste man ter wereld.'
