Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Watergate But Were Afraid to Ask (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The story of Watergate is usually told through the prism of the straight, white male journalists and politicians who were at the center of the scandal-but Watergate happened to all of us - wives, mothers, children, black, white, queer, immigrants. Those voices and perceptions are rarely heard today. EVERYTHING YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT WATERGATE was envisioned as a book that looks at the wider ripples of the Watergate explosion and how it changed the way Americans saw themselves, their country and the world around them. This is both a serious, and irreverent book, put together by a team of two newspaper journalists and ten college interns from throughout the country. Think of it as a primer on Watergate for the generation that grew up watching The Daily Show.
