"The full account of the Watergate scandal from the two Washington Post reporters who broke the story. This is the work that brought down a presidency...perhaps the most influential piece of journalism in history ( Time , All-Time 100 Best Nonfiction Books). This is the book that changed America. Published just two months before President Nixon's resignation, All the President's Men revealed the full scope of the Watergate scandal and introduced for the first time the mysterious Deep Throat. Beginning with the story of a simple burglary at Democratic headquarters and then continuing through headline after headline, Bernstein and Woodward deliver the stunning revelations and pieces in the Watergate puzzle that brought about Nixon's shocking downfall. Their explosive reports won a Pulitzer Prize for The Washington Post , toppled the president, and have since inspired generations of reporters. All the President's Men is a riveting detective story, capturing the exhilarating rush of the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history as it unfolded in real time. It is, as former New York Times managing editor Gene Roberts has called it, maybe the single greatest reporting effort of all time."

He is the author of Loyalties: A Son's Memoir, and has coauthored His Holiness: John Paul II and the History of Our Time with Marco Politi, as well as All the President's Men and The Final Days with Bob Woodward. " Rezension(3): "〈a href=http://www.audiofilemagazine.com target=_blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/audiofile_logo.jpg alt=AudioFile Magazine border=0 /〉〈/a〉:It's easy to see why this book won a Pulitzer Prize, and why it was so easy for the movie adaptation to win Academy Awards. Woodward and Bernstein craft a tale as suspenseful as a fine novel, but it's even more fascinating because it's the true story of the Watergate cover-up. Richard Poe provides an appropriately nuanced narration. Not only does he shift tones to match the content, style, and tempo of the wide-ranging prose, Poe provides near-imitations of the many famous figures, such as Kissinger and Nixon, who appear in the book. Poe provides such a range of voices that the result sounds like a full-cast production. G.T.B. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine"
