Bob Woodward is an assistant managing editor of The Washington Post where he worked since 1971.  He has won nearly every American journalism prize. The Pulitzer Prize was given to the Post in 1973 for the reporting of Woodward and Carl Bernstein on the Watergate scandal.
 
Woodward is the only contemporary American writer to author or co‑author eight # 1 national best-selling non‑fiction books. They are:
 
All the President's Men (1974) and The Final Days (1976), both Watergate books co‑authored with Bernstein
 
The Brethren: Inside the Supreme Court (1979), co‑authored with Scott Armstrong
 
Wired: The Short Life and Fast Times of John Belushi (1984)
 
Veil: The Secret Wars of the CIA 1981‑1987, published in 1987
 
 The Commanders, his book on the Gulf war, published in 1991.
 
 The Agenda, Inside the Clinton White House, published in June 1994.
 
 Shadow‑ Five Presidents and the Legacy of Watergate, published in 1999.
 
Maestro: Greenspan’s Fed and the American Economic Boom, published in November 2000
 
Bush at War, published November, 2002.
 
His book, The Choice, on the presidential campaign was a national bestseller throughout the summer of 1996.
 
Woodward writes and edits for the Post. Newsweek Magazine has excerpted five of his books in headline‑making cover stories; 60 Minutes has featured three of his books, and Dateline four of them; three of his books have been‑made into movies. On February 7, 1992, The New York Times said, "Bob Woodward is the most famous investigative reporter in America."
 
Woodward was born March 26, 1943 in Illinois. He graduated from Yale University in 1965 and served‑five years as a communications officer in the U.S. Navy before beginning his reporting career at the Montgomery County (Maryland) Sentinel where he was a reporter for one year before joining the Post. He lives in Washington, D.C. with his wife, Elsa Walsh, an author and writer for The New Yorker. Their daughter, Diana, was born in August 1996. Woodward's other daughter, Tali, a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley, works for the San Francisco Bay Guardian.
