Seymour Hersh's approach to writing history is much more skeptical and provocative than Bob Woodward's, but his work, which similarly covers controversial American political scandals and governmental mistakes, will appeal to readers looking for a more critical attitude towards official sources as a counterpoint to Woodward's more cautious style. -- Derek Keyser

Juicy insider tidbits and shrewd political analysis make for compelling reading in the works of Bob Woodward, a longtime Washington journalist, and Scott McClellan, press secretary under George W. Bush. -- Jessica Zellers

These journalist authors cover current events and politics in books that are thought provoking and often sobering. Their writing is journalistic and engaging, and their research thorough. Both also dip into more autobiographical material, discussing some of their own roles and experiences. -- Melissa Gray

Bob Woodward and John W. Dean are best known for their richly detailed and candid accounts of the Nixon administration and Watergate scandal, but they also pen thoughtful, authoritative, and in-depth books about other American leaders and the complex domestic and international policy issues America faces in the 21st century. -- Derek Keyser

While Carl Bernstein tends more towards political biography and Bob Woodward current events, they both produce fast-paced and richly detailed books that immerse the reader in the whys and wherefores of the contemporary political landscape. Their journalistic style and frequent introduction of important new material make their books not to be missed. -- Melissa Gray
