Simon & Schuster announced Tuesday that “Secrets” will come out
Sept. 29.
“He has kept notes, transcripts and files of all of his
interviews with the most important players in Washington,” the
publisher’s announcement reads in part.
“For the first time in this one-of-a-kind reporting memoir,
Woodward lifts the lid on his historic reporting relationships,
some spanning several decades.”
Woodward, who turns 83 this week, became famous in the 1970s
when he and fellow Washington Post journalist Carl Bernstein
helped break the Watergate scandal and other news about the
Nixon administration that eventually led to President Richard
Nixon's resignation.
Woodward also has written or co-written more than 20
bestsellers, including “All the President’s Men,” “Bush at War”
and the Trump books “Rage” and “Fear.”
Woodward told The Associated Press during a recent interview
that he saw the new book as a chance to “get into the reporting
process in detail,” pointing out that he had hourslong
conversations with presidents and other leaders. “I’ve had the
benefit of not being in a hurry,” he says.
Many of his books are chronicles of current administrations,
timed to election years. But shortly after Trump’s win in 2024,
he told the AP that he was unsure whether he’d write about him
again because he had already reported on Trump throughout his
first term.
“I think we know who he is,” Woodward said this week. “He’s so
transparent. He’s out there talking, two or three hours a day.”
