Robert Upshur Woodward was born on March 26, 1943, in Geneva, Illinois, and raised in Wheaton, Illinois. After graduating from Wheaton Community High School in 1961, he attended Yale University on a Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (NROTC) scholarship, earning a B.A. in history and English literature in 1965. Following his graduation from Yale, Woodward served a five-year tour of duty in the United States Navy as a communications officer, serving aboard the USS Wright (CVL-49) and USS Fox (CG-33). He held the rank of Lieutenant before being discharged in August 1970.
After his naval service, Woodward applied to Harvard Law School but chose not to attend. Instead, he pursued a career in journalism, applying to The Washington Post in 1970. Initially, he was not hired due to a lack of journalistic experience but after gaining experience at the Montgomery Sentinel, a weekly newspaper in Washington, D.C. suburbs, he was hired by the Post in 1971. His career at The Washington Post would lead to his groundbreaking investigative work that reshaped American journalism. Since 1974, Woodward has written 21 books on American politics and current affairs, with 14 of them becoming number one national bestsellers, solidifying his reputation as a prominent author in the genre.
Woodward’s most notable achievement came in 1972 when, as a reporter for The Washington Post, he teamed up with Carl Bernstein to report on the Watergate scandal. Their relentless investigation led to numerous government inquiries and ultimately the resignation of President Richard Nixon. Their work was lauded as one of the greatest reporting efforts of all time, transforming them into celebrities and inspiring a new wave of interest in investigative journalism. Their book, “All the President’s Men,” became a number one bestseller and was adapted into a successful film. Woodward has continued to contribute to The Washington Post as associate editor and has received numerous journalism awards, including contributing to two Pulitzer Prizes won by the Post.
