ALL THE PRESIDENTS MEN

Must read book on Watergate! Reads like a thriller and no wonder this book remains one of the top 100 non fiction books of all time.

Had watched the movie earlier. And now just finished reading the book. The book is simply unputdownable! A must read.

Yes.

Well i think it is the best book to read about watergate scandal and to get acquainted with both underground and overground events which led to first and by far only President resignation.

worth reading book.Delivery was prompt by the franchise.

Very good book. The power of journalism comes through...

A must read book. Why it's not available in Kindle format, when it's companion book "The Final Days" is available?

Old copy in a very dull conditionNot satisfied

Phenomenal read of a different time in American history.

Ler o livro vendo o filme. Uma ótima experiencia. Incluo aí a percepção das tecnologias de 1972-1974 com as atuais.

Das Buch gibt genau wie der Film ein anschauliches Argument ab, wofür es guten Journalismus braucht.Daneben ist es auch noch ein gutes Buch aus dem man lernt, dass kein Staat, egal wie gut, rechtsstaatlich und modern die Verfassung, die Regierungsstruktur ist oder, vor Missbrauch geschützt ist. Die Kontrolle der Macht ist daher immer ein Thema.Wesentlicher Unterschied zwischen damals und heute ist, dass Journalismus, guter Journalismus immer noch wichtig ist, nur Zeitungen sind es nicht mehr. Sie sind nicht mehr fas einzige Medium, in dem sich Journalisten ausdrücken.Es ist auch wichtig zu lesen, um sich klar zu machen, warum es kostenlose gute journalistische Angebote nicht geben kann. Wenn wir nicht zahlen, bezahlen diejenigen, welche das Thema sind oder sein sollten. Und die bezahlen nur für Journalismus, der ihnen nutzt. Wieviel er uns, dem Leser nutzt ist dabei nebensächlich.

Merci, je suis très satisfait. Au moins, Amazone, ne met pas en péril la santé des clients comme une grande enseigne libraire à Dunkerque, au Pôle Marine, où un beau livre m'est tombé sur la tête sans que le personnel ne bronche et ne se souci pas du client heurté à la tête (12/09/2015, 15:45). Achetez donc en ligne.Don't try to buy English books at Furet's Dunkirk - this seems to be a very dangerous bookseller without any care of the clients hit by falling (!) volumes.

On June 17, 1972, five men were arrested for breaking into the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate building. All five were family men dressed in suits and caught with equipment in what appeared to be an elaborate plot to bug the DNC headquarters. What did it all mean?Enter aspiring young Washington Post reporters Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward. With President Nixon's re-election committee denying any involvement in the plot, it appeared the Watergate story could have been ephemeral if not for the persistent investigative reporting of Woodward and Bernstein. Initially competing for the story, Woodward and Bernstein (sometimes referred to as "Woodstein") became partners when the advantages of working together became apparent to them. Contacts were mostly divided between the two so a personal relationship could be developed with sources, a journalistic necessity in the midst of a scandal in which few were willing to talk out of fear.It wasn't long before the two reporters realized the plot went higher up than ever imagined. The sources who were willing to talk needed prodding and guesswork by Woodward and Bernstein in order to protect themselves. The most famous among these sources--and possibly the most famous informant in American history--was Deep Throat. The highly secretive man made sure that Woodward took extra precautions when scheduling middle-of-the-night meetings with him in a parking garage, which included taking several cabs to make sure he wasn't being followed. The only hint of his position in government that Woodward gives is his unique position to observe the Executive Branch. Throughout the book, Deep Throat provides accurate insider information, and turns out to be Woodward's most reliable source during the entire event.Whether you lived through the Nixon presidency, or if the only thing you know is that Nixon resigned because of Watergate, this important book will give you the play-by-play in how investigative reporting contributed to the downfall of a president. "All the President's Men" reads like a political thriller from start to finish, and will leave you wanting more when it's over. For history buffs, political junkies, or any American who wants to know what Watergate was all about, this is an essential read. As my favorite book of all time, I can't recommend this book by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein highly enough.
