Bob Woodward: 2016 National Book Festival

Bob Woodward discusses "The Last of the President's Men" with David M. Rubenstein at the 2016 Library of Congress Book Festival in Washington, D.C.

Speaker Biography: Bob Woodward has worked for the Washington Post since 1971. He has won nearly every American journalism award, and the Post won the 1973 Pulitzer Prize for his work with Carl Bernstein on the Watergate scandal. In addition, Woodward was the main reporter for the Post's articles on the aftermath of the September 11th terrorist attacks that won the National Affairs Pulitzer Prize in 2002. The Weekly Standard has called Woodward "the best pure reporter of his generation, perhaps ever." In 2003, Albert Hunt of The Wall Street Journal called Woodward "the most celebrated journalist of our age." In 2004, Bob Schieffer of CBS News said, "Woodward has established himself as the best reporter of our time. He may be the best reporter of all time." Woodward has co-authored or authored more than a dozen No. 1 best-selling nonfiction books - more than any contemporary American writer. His current book is "The Last of the President's Men" , which reveals the untold story of Alexander Butterfield, the Nixon aide who disclosed the secret White House taping system, and exposes the final pieces of the Richard Nixon puzzle.
