In the first two books, Woodward present the POV that the Bush administration WANTED presented, with them as heroic leaders, making decisive, courageous moves. Seemingly all his "research" for those books consisted of him repackaging Bush talking points. If he ever pulled his head out of the administration's ass for those two books and asked any other people about what they thought, it wasn't apparent. By the third book, even Woodward had jumped ship (and lost his access), but too late to make a difference. You can track where he was at just by the titles: Plan of Attack Bush at War State of Denial The War Within By the time he became a critic, others were already way ahead of him on the story he had been closest to, but totally missed.
