All the President’s Men by Carl Bernstein

“All the President’s Men” is a book by journalists Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward, which chronicles their investigation of the Watergate scandal that led to the resignation of U.S. President Richard Nixon. The book was first published in 1974, just two years after Nixon’s resignation.

Bernstein and Woodward were reporters for The Washington Post when they broke the story of the Watergate break-in, which ultimately led to a wide-ranging investigation of the Nixon administration’s involvement in the scandal. Their reporting uncovered a series of illegal activities, including the break-in, the cover-up that followed, and attempts to use the powers of the presidency to obstruct justice.

The book details the reporters’ methods for gathering information, which included deep background interviews with sources, checking documents and records, and following leads across the country. The narrative is structured around the journalists’ investigation and includes detailed accounts of their interviews with key players in the Watergate scandal.

The book was adapted into a highly acclaimed film in 1976, starring Robert Redford as Woodward and Dustin Hoffman as Bernstein. It remains a classic of investigative journalism and an important historical document of one of the most significant political scandals in U.S. history.
