Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward, All The President's Men (1974)
The story of the Watergate break-in and how it became the biggest American political scandal in modern-day history unfolds in All The President's Men. Washington Post cub reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein were savvy enough to recognize that there was much more to the story than a simple break-in at the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee at the Watergate office complex. All the President's Men is a case study in investigative journalism and the power of the "fourth estate" -- the press -- to bring justice to bear on even the most powerful person in the world. Today, any word appended with "gate" denotes some sort of scandal. |
