Author Description

The morning of Saturday 17 June 1972. A burglary is reported in the opulent Watergate building in downtown Washington. Two Washington Post reporters, Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward, are assigned to cover what seems a routine break-in. It was the first step in what must be the most devastating political detective story of the century - THE WATERGATE SCANDAL. Here is the amazing story, from the first suspicions, through the tortuous trail of false leads, lies, secrecy and high-level pressure, to the final moments when they were able to put the pieces of the puzzle together and write the exposé that won them a Pulitzer Prize.
