It's time to revisit Watergate. during this compelling reexamination, Liebovich attracts generally from newly on hand resources, together with lately published Nixon Oval workplace tapes, FBI stories, and private memories of cover-up chief John Dean. Liebovich sheds new mild at the Nixon administration's broad foul play, zeal to conflict and manage the click, scandalous miring, and eventual political shame. After detailing the nation's information media insurance of the Watergate debacle and the resultant breakup of yankee politics, Liebovich recounts the scandal's long-lasting, corrosive impact on presidential and renowned politics.

Scholars and scholars of the media and latter-20th-century American political malaise may be provoked and persuaded by means of Liebovich's argument that a lot of the public's cynicism towards the click, the president, and politics stems from the sour battles-fought within the White apartment, at the entrance pages, and on tv screens-between the click and Nixon's management. The e-book makes a speciality of the struggle opposed to a press perceived as antagonistic to the President and charts how the nation's significant newspapers and magazines lined the unfolding scandal. Newly published resources convey how Nixon and his advisors immersed themselves so deeply in a maze of deception and distrust that none concerned may perhaps extricate themselves, making a political tragedy that haunts us to this day.
