{"product_id":"9781468309188","title":"Washington Journal: Reporting Watergate and Richard Nixon's Downfall","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 1975, Elizabeth Drew’s \u003ci\u003eWashington Journal\u003c\/i\u003e was the book that best captured the extraordinary upheaval of America in the Watergate years. The book that established Drew’s reputation as one of the shrewdest and sharpest writers on American politics, \u003ci\u003eWashington Journal \u003c\/i\u003etook in the emerging scandal with tremendous clarity and force.\u003cbr\u003e Unfolding over the course of a single year, from September 1973 to August 1974, \u003ci\u003eWashington Journal \u003c\/i\u003eis the record of the near-dissolution of a nation’s political conscience—told from within. In these pages, we see corruption in its most prosaic and grandest forms, along with occasional flashes of decency, ethics, and humanity, and other sights rarely witnessed in the wilds of the capital. The result is a book that brings to life Washington in all its complexity and contradiction.\u003cbr\u003e Cool and understated—and all the more devastating for its understatement—\u003ci\u003eWashington Journal \u003c\/i\u003ewas hailed upon its publication as a landmark work of journalism. With an introduction that brings this all too relevant book squarely into the present, \u003ci\u003eWashington Journal \u003c\/i\u003eis available again, at long last, ready for its place in the pantheon of great writing about American politics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Overlook Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47054413791472,"sku":"9781468309188","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781468309188_p0.jpg?v=1763695910","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781468309188","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
