Product Information

A new afterword by Max Holland details developments since the original 2003 publication, including the revelation of Mark Felt as the infamous "Deep Throat," the media's role in the scandal, both during and afterwards, including Bob Woodward's Second Man . Arguably the greatest political scandal of twentieth-century America, the Watergate affair rocked an already divided nation to its very core, severely challenged our cherished notions about democracy, and further eroded public trust in its political leaders. The 1972 break-in at Democratic National Headquarters in the Watergate Hotel--by five men acting under the direction of a Republican president's closest aides and his staff--created a constitutional crisis second only to the Civil War and ultimately toppled the Nixon presidency. With its sordid trail of illegal wiretapping, illicit fundraising, orchestrated cover-up, and destruction of evidence, it was the scandal that made every subsequent national political scandal a "gate" as well. A disturbing tale made famous by Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in All the President's Men , the Watergate scandal has been extensively dissected and vigorously debated. Keith Olson, however, offers for the first time a "layman's guide to Watergate," a concise and readable one-volume history that highlights the key actors, events, and implications in this dark drama. John Dean, John Ehrlichman, H. R. Haldeman, G. Gordon Liddy, John Mitchell, Judge John Sirica, Senator Sam Ervin, Archibald Cox, and the ghostly "Deep Throat" reappear here--in a volume designed especially for a new generation of readers who know of Watergate only by name and for teachers looking for a straightforward summary for the classroom. Olson first recaps the events and attitudes that precipitated the break-in itself. He then analyzes the unmasking of the cover-up from both the president's and the public's perspective, showing how the skepticism of politicians and media alike gradually intensified into a full-blown challenge to Nixon's increasingly suspicious actions and explanations. Olson fully documents for the first time the key role played by Republicans in this unmasking, putting to rest charges that the "liberal establishment" drove Nixon from the White House. He also chronicles the snowballing public outcry (even among Nixon's supporters) for the president's removal. In a remarkable display of nonpartisan unity, leading public and private voices in Congress and the media demanded the president's resignation or impeachment. In a final chapter, Olson explores the Cold War contexts that encouraged an American president to convince himself that the pursuit of "national security" trumped even the Constitution. As America approaches the thirtieth anniversary of the infamous Watergate hearings and the overreach of presidential power is again at issue, Olson's book offers a quick course on the scandal itself, a sobering reminder of the dangers of presidential arrogance, and a tribute to the ultimate triumph of government by the people.

Reviews
"With so many Watergate books, it must be asked: Do we need another? In this instance, yes. Because . . . Olson provides a concise and readable overview of the entire mess, making often highly complex and convoluted information accessible, not to mention interesting. . . . Olson's book is particularly timely. Watergate grew out of the Vietnam War and the rationalizations of a wartime president who believed his actions were justified in the name of national security. Today we again are a nation at war (against terrorism). There has never been a better time to recall the lessons of Watergate, lest history repeat itself."-- John Dean in The Chicago Tribune "Succinct and lively and apt to find its way into courses on U.S. history since 1945. . . . [Olson's argument is] compelling. . . . [He] explains, in a most thoughtful way, why Watergate happened."-- Journal of American History "Olson has put together this concise and comprehensive synthesis of Watergate to fill three purposes: to provide a readable account for those unversed in this now-receding history; to examine the unraveling of the Watergate cover-up; and to argue that the unmasking of the scandal, and Nixon's ultimate resignation, was the product of a bipartisan effort. . . . A brilliant synthesis, accessible to nonspecialist undergraduates, of a history that all presidency students need to know."-- Perspectives on Political Science "Olson's book provides an excellent, compact narrative of a crucial moment in the history of the American presidency."-- Publishers Weekly
