From the Paper
The purpose of this research is to critically examine All the President's Men by Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward. The most popular account of the entire "Watergate" affair, the book remains an excellent example of investigative reporting. The book covers the eighteen month period during which Bernstein and Woodward, working as reporters for The Washington Post, systematically uncovered many of the details surrounding President Richard Nixon's illegal political activities.
Woodward and Bernstein were assigned the story as it first broke in June of 1972, with the arrest of five burglars who had been apprehended while breaking into the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee. The reporters' subsequent investigation, pursued in true detective fashion, utilized fragmentary clues found n address books, telephone calls, informants, and ... "

From the Paper
" This study will compare and contrast two works by Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward on the fall of the Nixon administration due to the Watergate scandal, All the President's Men and The Final Days.
All the President's Men is more mystery story than anything else, and mystery stories do not rely heavily on theses or arguments, so it is difficult to label this book with a specific thesis. Certainly the authors believe that there is a and should be an adversarial relationship between the government and the press. Certainly they would argue that the Nixon administration was a corrupt one, and that its corruption was made even more intense by the fact that it had claimed to be a force for goodness. The authors end their first chapter with the words of Democratic Party chairman Larry O'Brien: "We learned of this.."

Abstract
This paper explains that Bob Woodward's book "Plan of Attack" skillfully and with limited elucidation chronicles the decision-making process that lead up to the War in Iraq. The author of the paper then argues, based on his interpretation of Woodward's book, that the Iraq war was caused by a number of factors: 1) the desire of a core group of advisors to oust Saddam Hussein 2) the belief that ousting Hussein could be done with relative ease, 3) the events of September 11, and 4) the opportunity for a grand strategic play to democratize the Middle East.
From the Paper
"Even before President George W. Bush took his oath of office, the Vice President-elect Dick Cheney was focused on Iraq. In early January 2001, Cheney asked outgoing Secretary of Defense William Cohen to brief Bush on issues of national security, "adding that he wanted a serious 'discussion about Iraq and different options.' The president-elect should not be given the routine, canned, round-the-world tour normally given to incoming presidents. Topic A should be Iraq." A few days later, Bush received another critical national security briefing from CIA director George Tenet."

"The Commanders", 2006.
A review of the book "The Commanders" by Bob Woodward.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss and analyze the book "The Commanders" by Bob Woodward. Specifically, it argues the Bush administration was effective in identifying political objectives and applying military resources to accomplish those objectives. It looks at how chapters 7-15 of Bob Woodward's book include discussions of the 1989 Panama invasion, civilian manipulation of the military and how the administration engineered and pulled off a military invasion during peacetime. It concludes that if the experience in Panama is any indication, then the George H.W. Bush administration was extremely adroit at identifying political objectives and applying military resources to accomplish those objectives.
From the Paper
"Woodward's chronicle of the Bush administration and their international policy shows that using the military for political objectives is a common occurrence in modern day government. The lack of concern over military officers and their lack of political interest was clear throughout the book, and was well known throughout political circles. Woodward notes, "Most chilling to Crowe was the indifference that the Secretary of Defense [Cheney] seemed to have about the career of a four-star officer." He continues, "If the only way a commander could survive was to anticipate the political winds blowing in Washington and try to get out ahead of formal policy change, the military could be hopelessly contaminated.""

"Bush at War", 2005.
This paper is a critical review of Bob Woodward's "Bush at War".
1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 38.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Bob Woodward's "Bush at War" consists largely of day-by-day juxtapositions of accounts of what American leaders, such as President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld and others, were, according to Woodward, thinking and saying about the war in Afghanistan compared with what was actually occurring. The author points out that Woodward uses a distinct approach to writing non-fiction in that (1) he tries to obtain the maximum amount of information on his subject through interviews, documents, transcripts and recordings and (2) then uses this information to re-create the event in the form of a story with an omniscient narrator, present tense events and dialogue; thereby, his books read like fiction novels featuring strong characterization. The paper relates that some of Woodward's critics accuse him of abandoning critical inquiry to maintain his access to high-profile political actors; others praise his detached and evenhanded style for allowing readers to absorb the facts and come to their own conclusions.
From the Paper
"In a series of articles published in January 2002, Woodward and Dan Balz described the events at Camp David in the aftermath of September 11. These articles later became the basis for this book. Woodward has spent more time than any other journalist with President George W. Bush while in office, interviewing him four times for more than seven hours total. His most recent two books, Bush at War (2002) and Plan of Attack (2004), are detailed accounts of the Bush presidency, including the response to the 9-11 terrorist attacks and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq."

Abstract
Bob Woodward?s "Bush at War" depicts a confident, charismatic President Bush who knows what he wants and uses the resources of his cabinet to discover the best method for achieving his goal. This is not to say that he won?t listen to his advisors, but his focus is on making reality conform to his vision rather than vice versa. The paper examines how some of Bush?s advisors, such as George Tenet, Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney, are depicted in the book as taking a hard-line stance on America's war against the Taliban in Afghanistan, while others, such as Condoleeza Rice and Colin Powell, voiced concerns about the U.S. war effort. Bush listened to both sides and, although he decided to invade Afghanistan in the wake of September 11, the plan was affected by the input of those who had concerns about the war. The paper shows that ultimately, Woodward paints the picture of an administration firmly controlled by the president, but also shows that the vibrant and sometimes heated debates within the administration do ultimately affect policy.
From the Paper
"The precipitating event, of course, for the invasion of Afghanistan was the September 11, 2001, attacks on America. Following a string of evidence which had mounted from previous attacks on American targets, including the previous attempt at bombing the World Trade Center, the administration decided that the terrorist force known as Al-Qaeda was responsible for the attacks and that much of the financial backing and overarching organizational structure of Al-Qaeda lay in the hands of Osama bin Laden. Since, bin Laden was known to be in Afghanistan, and since Afghanistan?s ruling Islamic fundamentalist government, the Taliban, controlled the country and was known to support terrorists, the U.S. decided invasion was necessary to strike back at the terrorists in the heart of their organization."

Abstract
This paper, using as a guide Bob Woodward?s book "The Commander?s", analyzes the actions of the President, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and several federal agencies responsible for managing National Security during the escalation towards hostilities in Panama and Southwest Asia. It includes an analysis of how effective the decision-makers were during the planning, execution and oversight periods of these operations and discusses whether they communicated visions, involved all available experts for consultation and whether they offered several options to aid in their critical decision making.
From the Paper
"Before any public statement or initiative by the President, General Colin Powell asked General Norman Schwarzkopf, the Commander of Central Command, to draft a two-tiered plan for possible U.S. responses to any Iraqi move against Kuwait. The first tier was what U.S Forces could do to immediately retaliate against Iraq; the second was what the United States might do defensively to stop any further Iraqi movement. Simultaneously, coordination at the JCS-CINC level had already began while CENTCOM initiated the formal Crisis Planning process. As the diplomatic chess game ensued, the practical aspects of what was needed began to surface presenting the leadership with several challenges and decisions to make. For example, General Schwarzkopf said it would take 17 weeks to get the full deterrence piece of Plan 90-1002- totaling some 200,000 to 250,000 Army, Navy, Airforce, and Marines-into the region."

Abstract
This paper relates that evaluating and comparing human personality theories requires an examination of the history of psychology and an appraisal of the most prominent theorists. The author points out that Sigmund Freud and Carl Rogers have influenced psychology profoundly with distinctly different approaches to therapy. The paper explains that Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis and Carl Rogers' humanistic therapy each have their strengths and weaknesses, but humanistic psychology seems to have much greater potential than Freudian analysis.
From the Paper
"In evaluating personality theory, it is important to examine the professional history and experiences of the theorists themselves, for these factors inevitably influence the formulation of their theories. We are all products of our own distinctive life experiences, and famous psychologists are no exception. Sigmund Freud and Carl Rogers were each influenced consciously and subconsciously by their own unique heredity, their respective professional environments, and a host of other personal, educational, and professional circumstances and events. The respective theories of personality they each constructed reflect all of these influences. Robbins (1999) notes that psychoanalysis was founded by Sigmund Freud more than a century ago."

Abstract
This paper discusses the life and works of Bob Marley. The paper contends that while Marley's suggested reforms did not being peace and transformation to the poor of Jamaica it did succeed as a general international music of protest. The paper explains that as the music became more popular and more commercially viable, so it was seen from some perspectives as having lost touch with the 'purity' of its essentially Rastafarian roots. However, in spite of this division, the paper illustrates how the music of Bob Marley played an extensive part in the activation and motivation of many protest movements against colonialism and racism throughout the world.

Political Protest
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Bob Marley is credited not only with creating and popularizing a certain style of music, but also with using music to focus attention on the plight of black people around the world and on various social issues. While he was deeply involved with the context and culture of his country, Marley's musical influence was felt internationally. His style of music and protest lyrics was later to be identified with the larger social struggle against unfair forms of oppression and dominance in the world. The lyrics and style of his music were also a comment on society and had enormous political and activist appeal. Many of his compositions were "...couched in general terms of confrontation, uplift, and redemption" (Domenico et al. 69) "

Abstract
This paper explains that Bob Marley was the first ever international Third World music superstar whose influence spread to every corner of the earth. The author describes, in detail, how Marley, who came from the slums of Jamaica, started his own band and record label and eventually toured the world. The paper underscores that, even now, more than 20 years after his untimely death, Bob Marley's name is known all over the planet and he is still the best-selling reggae artist in the world, controlling forty percent of the recent chart listings of "Billboard" magazine. The paper concludes that the key to Marley's success is not through advocating sex, money,or violence in his songs like current recording artists but through his religious beliefs of Rastafarianism and his message of love, peace and freedom for every living person, regardless of race, nationality or creed.
From the Paper
"Bob's final world tour (1980) began in Gabon, Africa and moving onto Zimbabwe, were his music had deeply affected the countries politics. Zimbabwe was under British colonial rule for almost a century and had just been freed after a long and brutal war. Marley's song "Zimbabwe" was a call for change saying "It take a revolution, to make a solution". During this time of war, this song was a national anthem, representing what the soldiers were fighting for. Marley was the only performer playing at the concert that wasn't native but was allowed because of the effect his music had on soldiers moral."
