War, by Bob Woodward

War by Bob Woodward
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Nice book on current affairs. It reads like a novel and jumps around a lot; personally, I like the pacing, I didn’t read it too deeply, and basically skimmed through it like a news article. It is interesting, of course, since the issues discussed are still ongoing, but maybe that’s because I don’t keep in touch with Western news outlets and whatever so it’s all new to me.
Granted, it doesn’t really say anything you couldn’t find elsewhere. A good chunk of the book is circulating around on twitter in discussions of Ukraine and Gaza (now Lebanon as well), so you can skip the book and just search around X. The rest you’ll find on news sites. I don’t browse either too much, so I had the liberty of (mostly) going through it un-spoilered.
