“Do we need still another Watergate book? The answer turns out to be yes—this one.” —Len Downie, Jr., The Washington Post
“Dazzling.” —Douglas Brinkley, The New York Times Book Review
“Monumental. . . effortlessly clarifies the strands of one of the most complex episodes in modern history. . . A masterful, epic look at a story that is still barely believable.” — Daily Mail
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Only Plane in the Sky, the first definitive narrative history of Watergate, exploring the full scope of the scandal through the politicians, investigators, journalists, and informants who made it the most influential political event of our modern era.
“Watergate is one of the great tragic double-edged swords of modern American history: its crimes were swiftly exposed, the criminals punished, the rule of law restored—and it profoundly, permanently undermined American citizens’ trust in their government. Garrett M. Graff’s fresh chronicle of that inflection point is lucid, enlightening, and indispensable.”
—KURT ANDERSEN, bestselling author of Evil Geniuses and writer-host of the Nixon at War podcast
