This is the story of Watergate as told by two reporters (the authors) who investigated the story and published this book right before Nixon resigned. It started with the Democratic headquarters being robbed and ended with one of the biggest political scandals in our nation's history. (until recently)
This was a pretty interesting book. I read it as part of the Rory Gilmore challenge, but glad I found it. There are a zillion people in this book and it is hard at times to keep them all straight, but it was interesting to learn about how the Watergate scandal unfolded. The volume I read had a recent forward from 2020 after the January 6th storming of the capital and how Trump and his presidency mimics Nixons yet still blows it out of the water.
Good book - check it out.
Stars: 3.5

When I started this iconic book about the notorious scandal and coverup that ended with Richard Nixon narrowly avoiding criminal charges, I never expected the coincidence of finishing reading it as, 50 years later, another crook became the first former president ever indicted on criminal charges.
