This book discusses the Watergate Scandal of the Nixon presidency, and the legacy left by it. The effects of the Watergate Scandal have rippled through each subsequent presidency, and have fostered a sense of mistrust in government officials....of which there was already plenty to begin with. In our current times, there are striking parallels between more recent presidencies and Nixon's, especially in correlation to criminal activity and media coverage.

To be perfectly honest, I only bought this book because it was .25 at the used bookstore that I spend a lot of time at. I am not super into United States history, and I am also not very interested in the presidents mentioned in this books. I went into this book with a low expectation, and expecting to hate it. I wasn't far off in my assumption. The book might be great to other people who are specifically interested in this particular topic and time period, but it wasn't for me, and that is okay. We do not all share the same interests and like the same things. I will say that the book wasn't terribly written and it was interesting to see how each subsequent presidency was affected by the nonsense and shenanagins of one.
