DescriptionFew, if any, books have had a more profound and lasting impact on society than this extraordinary piece of reporting that shook the very foundation of American politics. Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward won the Pulitzer Prize for their investigative journalism and immediately became household names. After All the President's Men, nothing would ever be the same. At first, it was a simple story. Democratic headquarters at the Watergate complex in Washington, D.C., had been burglarized. But as Washington Post reporters Bernstein and Woodward dug deeper, a trail of corruption wound its way back to President Richard Nixon. Before long, Nixon's reign was over. An absolutely riveting true story, All the President's Men was adapted into an acclaimed film that won four Academy Awards. Now for the first time ever, this modern classic is available as an unabridged audio production.
