Full disclosure: I don‘t actually remember much from this specific book vs. the other Watergate era books I‘ve read, but according to Goodreads, this was the book I liked most from February! #12Booksof2023 @Andrew65

Andrew65 It‘s amazing how much doesn‘t stay on our heads when we read a lot of books. 4mo

Bk1 of #WinterGames & #20in4 #readathon was finished Sunday. Sorry I haven‘t posted till now, we‘ve had a bad start to December here. I have read a few books still. This NF is one I‘ve wanted to read for years, Watergate is fascinating. Written by the two journalists who persevered with the story even under pressure from government agencies who just wanted the incident to go away. Nixon & Trump have a lot in common! #TeamEvergreen #4866pts 👇

Andrew65 Sorry to hear that, sending best wishes ❤️ Have you seen the film? 5mo
Bookwormjillk I hope December gets better! 5mo

Lizpixie @andrew65 thanks lovely. It‘s been pretty crappy both healthwise & familywise, fingers crossed things change before Xmas🤞Yes, I love the movie! Just did a rewatch before listening to the audiobook. Those guys were real journalists, backed up by a reputable paper that actually had their backs. Very impressed by them, totally disgusted with Nixon & his gang of merry hatchet men #IAmNotACrook✌️ 5mo
Lizpixie @Bookwormjillk thank you! I hope so too❤️ @CatLass007 oh he was dragged out kicking & screaming all the way, don‘t worry. AFTER throwing everyone who helped, conspired & believed in him under the bus first. He‘s just lucky that some of the international leaders he clandestinely recorded didn‘t retaliate honestly. I highly recommend reading this, what he (almost)got away with is insane! 5mo
CatLass007 I remember watching him give his resignation speech live on television. I know he would like to have stayed in power but he wasn‘t completely tone deaf about what would happen if he didn‘t resign. He thought he could get away with the things he did but he eventually realized that resigning was the best thing for him. I‘m sure he was given guarantees that Gerald Ford would pardon him. 5mo
Lizpixie @Bookwormjillk thanks for the recce! Another book on my overstuffed TBR 🫣It sounds brilliant.👍 5mo
Lizpixie @CatLass007 I was only two years old when this happened so no firsthand memories for me! But even here in Australia, Nixon was taught in school & documentaries were on tv plus the fabulous movie with Redford & Hoffman. Watergate has always been a moment in history that fascinated me but even so this book has a lot of behind the scenes bad behaviour that was new. The recent mini series Gaslit with Julia Roberts I highly recommend as well👍 5mo
dabbe I have read this numerous times, and I still learn something new every time I read it! 🤩😍😃 5mo

I‘ve been reading this for years and finally finished! Definitely a pick for anyone as fascinated with Richard Nixon as I am. I realized near the end that the day I‘m planning to leave Japan after 17 years here is the 49th anniversary of his resignation, so the last part about his departure particularly resonated. #chunskter

I wanted to learn more about Watergate so of course I went to the source. I expected Nixon gossip but this was more a super interesting retelling of all the steps the two men went through to report their story. This version also had a new intro from 2022 which compared Watergate to current events. #AwesomeAugust book 6/6

Andrew65 Great 👏👏👏 2y
EvieBee Very interesting! I am also interested in Watergate and so bought the new Watergate book on audio. 2y
EvieBee @Bookwormjillk I hadn‘t made that connection!! Thank you. That‘s another one I seriously want to read. I adding President‘s Men to my list also. 2y
Bookwormjillk @EvieBee it was a hard read mentally but the audio was so well done 2y
