Description
Garrett M. Graff's definitive narrative history of Watergate explores the full scope of the scandal through the politicians, investigators, journalists, and informants who made it the most influential political event of the modern era.
The story begins in 1971, with the publication of thousands of military and government documents known as the Pentagon Papers, which reveal dishonesty about the decades-long American presence in Vietnam and spark public outrage. From this point, Graff delves into the subsequent arrests of five men seeking to bug and burgle the Democratic National Committee offices, and the web of scandal that quickly unravels.
The result is a comprehensive, single-volume account in decades, shedding new light on the events that led to a presidency's downfall and forever altered views of moral authority and leadership.
