Publisher's Summary

In the most devastating political detective story of the 20th 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.

Investigative Journalism at its Best!

This one of my favourite books of all time, I've read and re-read the paperback so many times over the years that it is falling apart. This was my first listen to the recently released audiobook version, I was expecting it to be good but it exceeded my expectations. Richard Poe does a very good job of bringing the investigative journalism of Woodward and Bernstein to life, capturing both the fact and drama of the downfall of Richard Nixon. This is 13-hour listen with a cast of many, that never drags nor gets overwhelming, and it is over before you know it. The reason for this simple, great production and narration have made this book an instant audiobook classic. I enjoyed the audiobook as much as I did the paperback on its first read and I am sure I will be going back to this audiobook in the years to come. #Audible1

Listening to History Live

It’s amazing to feel like you are reliving such a major time in history. This book is so well made and continues to indirectly show the dangers of people in power who are unable to just be straight forward as it may uncover something shady. Thanks for the listen!

Splendid!

I thought this was a rather detailed and intricate account of the Watergate Scandal. I learned some details about it which I had not about before. Great delivery of the facts and details too!
