History. Language Arts. Politics. Nonfiction. HTML:50th Anniversary Edition??With a new foreword on what Watergate means today.

"The work that brought down a presidency...perhaps the most influential piece of journalism in history" (Time)??from the #1 New York Times bestselling authors of The Final Days.
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.

One of Time magazine's All-Time 100 Best Nonfiction Books, 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.

Két ok miatt olvastam el a könyvet. Egyrészt több könyvet olvastam Bersteintől és Woodwardtól, de a leghíresebb és egyben a legfontosabb valahogy kimaradt. Másrészt pedig sokat hallottam a Watergate-botrányról, de a részleteket nem ismertem elég alaposan.

A könyvben a két oknyomozó újságírón keresztül ismerjük meg az ügyet, vagyis ( pár apró kivételtől eltekintve ) mindig pont annyit tudunk mint a két újságíró. Nincsenek más történetszálak ahol az összeesküvők cselekedeteit mutatná be időrendben vagy a hivatalos nyomozás részleteit. Csak akkor értesülünk eseményekről, amikor valaki beszél a főszereplőknek róla, ami akár hónapokkal a történtek után lehet. Különösen a vége felé zavaró ez, amikor az ügy már túlnőtt a két újságírón. Vagyis ha a Watergate ügyet szeretnénk alaposan megismerni, akkor nem ez a legjobb olvasmány. Ha viszont azt szeretnénk látni, hogy két oknyomozó újságíró hogyan deríti fel az ügyet ami végül az elnök bukásához vezet, akkor ez a tökéletes könyv.

A könyv nem túl könnyű olvasmány, a nevek többsége már nem sokat mond ennyi év távlatából és könnyű összekeverni a szereplőket akik apránként csepegtetik az információkat az újságíróknak.

A könyv olvasása után hiányérzetem maradt, aminek egyszerűen az az oka, hogy a könyv még Nixon bukása előtt jelent meg, vagyis hiányzik a történet vége, azt egy külön könyvben írták meg. ( )

This is gripping and informative, following the lead journalists thru the uncovering of the entire Watergate scandal. I got an idea of how exciting and stressful journalism can be on big events like this, and the tedium and disappointment that comes when things don't pan out. I also enjoyed the new forward that includes comparisons to the entire Trump debacle. ( )

Even as a law student I found this boring. I get the importance. I get the shock of what happened. Maybe it's because I've done two projects on Watergate and this is just... Eh. Been there. Done that. Reporters breaking every rule they can to catch actual rulebreakers in the act. Whenever I come back to this story it just further convinces me to stay away from DC and to never become an investigative journalist. I mean that's really it for me. As a beginner's guide to Watergate, sure go for it. Be prepared for a bit of confusion but the 40th anniversary has some help in it and a good afterword. ( )

Absolutely fantastic. This book went a good way in restoring my faith in the field of journalism, which had plummeted during the past 6 or 7 years due to today's sloppy and biased reporting. Seeing the lengths Woodward and Bernstein went to in order to corroborate information (at least 3 sources) was refreshing, especially given that today reporters regularly quote a pair of anonymous Twitter accounts and call it a story. Eye-opening, compelling read. Highly recommend. ( )

A fascinating look into the details of the reporting of the Watergate scandal. This blow-by-blow account reveals the investigative process, the breakdown in the Nixon White House's internal structure, the lies and dissimulation from political figures, and has insight into how to manufacture, and read, news. A trenchant story for today. ( )

The best insight into how they [the USA] are governed.

It is a work barren of ideas, of imagination, and of a sense of either the tragic or the comic aspects of the subject, and one that would be essentially boring if it were not for the historical importance of the events dealt with. The reportorial techniques employed by Bernstein and Woodward differ hardly at all from those that might be used by a pair of reporters examining the misdeeds of small-town grafters, and while this is not in itself a failing—small fish and large ones are caught by the same means—the lack of a sense of history diminishes the magnitude of the story. But this account will be indispensable to those who for one reason or another have not kept up with the running accounts of events and to those who will someday place it in its proper historical setting.

The suspense in “All the President's Men” is more pervasive and finally more terrifying than a suspense story which holds its readers shivering in the darkness of graveyards and gothic castles because the setting is sunny Washington, D.C., a familiar place suddenly made unfamiliar by the presence of overwhelming fear. Disaffected C.R.P.. employes trembling in their doorways, wanting to be helpful but afraid of the consequences, plead with the sleuths never to call again. “Nobody knows what they'll do,” one employe said. “They are desperate.” Who are they?...

June 17, 1972. Nine o'clock Saturday morning. Early for the telephone. Woodward fumbled for the receiver and snapped awake.
