History Buffs Read All the President's Men for January
About the Book
The most
devastating political detective story of the century: the inside account
of the two Washington Post reporters who broke the Watergate scandal,
now with a 40th anniversary Afterword on the legacies of Watergate and
Richard Nixon.
This is the book that changed America. Published just months before President Nixon’s resignation, All the President’s Men
revealed the full scope of the scandal and introduced for the first
time the mysterious “Deep Throat.” Beginning with the story of a simple
burglary at Democratic headquarters and then continuing through headline
after headline, Bernstein and Woodward deliver a riveting firsthand
account of their reporting. Their explosive reports won a Pulitzer Prize
for The Washington Post, toppled the president, and have since inspired generations of reporters.
All the President’s Men is
a riveting detective story, capturing the exhilarating rush of the
biggest presidential scandal in US history as it unfolded in real time.
It is, as Time magazine wrote in their All-Time 100 Best
Nonfiction Books list, “the work that brought down a
presidency...perhaps the most influential piece of journalism in
history.”
Described
as "absolutely mesmerizing" by the Chicago Sun-Times, The Final Days is
a portrayal of Nixon's dramatic last days in the White House.
