Product Description:
In the most devastating political detective story of the century, two Washington Post reporters, whose brilliant, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigation smashed the Watergate scandal wide open, tell the behind-the-scenes drama the way it really happened.

Beginning with the story of a simple burglary at Democratic headquarters and then continuing with headline after headline, Bernstein and Woodward kept the tale of conspiracy and the trail of dirty tricks coming -- delivering the stunning revelations and pieces in the Watergate puzzle that brought about Nixon's scandalous downfall. Their explosive reports won a Pulitzer Prize for The Washington Post and toppled the President. This is the book that changed America.

- More than a B-plus
I just finished this book a few minutes ago. All I can say is, "WOW!"

Having grown up in the naive period when we were inculcated with the notion that elected officials looked out for us regular people, it is hard to shake some of that naivete unless it's in print and in front of my eyes. And this book does an outstanding job at educating people in the subversion of the democratic process from within. However...I think when the definitive book on the George W. Bush administration is written, it will be far more devastating.

The book is an amazing triumph for Woodward and Bernstein, and a terrific experience for the reader. Next on my list is "The Final Days."

- Must Read for all Americans
I purchased this book after seeing the movie, again, on TCM a couple of weeks ago. If you like the movie, you'll love the book.

I was just 7-8 years old while Woodward and Bernstein were writing their Watergate stories for the Washington Post and knew very little about the details that led to President Nixon's ultimate downfall. Until now. I couldn't put this book down. It is filled with every detail of the Watergate break-in and the subsequent events that brought down the Nixon White House. The book covers everything, step by step, from learning of the Watergate break-in to Nixon being connected to many, many "dirty tricks" (and you won't believe some of them! Wow!) played to assure him a win in the election. Woodward and Bernstein labored day and night for the truth and refused to publish their stories until they were sure they had it. They protected their sources and never gave up even when it would ... Read More

I was interested in this book because I was part of the "dirty Tricks" by the Nixon administration. I was threated over the telephone and my daughter's horse was "shortreined" but caught in time. My husband was a democrat running for office. I met Mr. Bernstein about 6 months ago and was very impressed with his knowledge of journalism. I found the book extremely interesting and it is a first edition. A real keeper.

- A Classic
This book is a must-read for everyone. If you want to understand how people in power can abuse that power and how they hide it from you, read this book. It is also very well written and as good as any mystery. Learn what Nixon was really doing to get elected and how he and his henchmen tried to call it "national security."
