by Carl Bernstein
Change the names from 1972 to today's names and nothing has changed. The talking points and the words are the same. Denials and coming down on the press from the White House.

Mostly fascinating, and surprisingly easy to read due to its novel-like structure. All in all, a virtually required read for any political science/history student or scholar, and a very interesting read for anyone else.

It's a whole lot of story, and no matter what, it's difficult to keep track of the characters. But they managed to keep the story flowing...
Many years ago (MANY years!), I was visiting my grandmother in Boston. She took me to see this movie, and I immediately got her to buy me the book. I was fourteen years old at the time, and was thoroughly gripped by this book. I think that says a lot for the book, because up until that point I ha...
