Description
Book SynopsisIn July 1973, for the first time in its history, the
New York Times Magazine devoted a full issue to a single article: Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist J. Anthony Lukas’s account of the Watergate story to date. Six months later, a second installment ran in another full issue.
Trade Review“That the facts about Watergate are now as straight as they are, in spite of all official attempts to conceal them, is a tribute to Lukas's skill as a reporter and more broadly to the journalistic tradition he represents.” * New York Times Book Review *
“Highly recommended for those with an insatiable fascination for the Watergate story. The author … shuns grandiloquent probing for deeper meanings while providing an almost minute-by-minute account of a cast of hundreds, interspersed with concise biographical vignettes.” * Foreign Affairs *
“[A] model of measured judgment and of careful selection and synthesis … it is presented with such masterly narrative skill that one reads the old familiar story as if it were all new and fresh.” * Publishers Weekly *
