No one gets the inside story like Bob Woodward, the reporter of the Watergate scandal who has made a career of investigating — and writing about — the inner workings of the highest levels of government. In The Choicehe has produced a look at the two candidates for the 1996 presidential race, Bill Clinton and Bob Dole, published before the two parties' political conventions. The book details the political maneuvers endemic to the current climate: strategies, sessions, spins and ads aimed at repositioning and re-focusing either of the candidates in the light most favorable to the latest poll. It is the private not the public faces of our politicians that engage Woodward's skeptical gaze.
