Description

Washington Journal opens in 1973 and follows the deterioration of Richard Nixon's presidency in real time. With her unprecedented access to the top figures, Elizabeth Drew's on-the-scene reporting is even more remarkable in hindsight, as Washington Journal captures the feeling of the period and reports conversations with the key decision-makers as they made up their minds about the most fateful vote they would cast. It also shows us the sense of fear among both close observers and the citizenry, as well as their nervous laughter at the era's absurdities. Drew understands Richard Nixon as well as this most complex figure can be understood, and she shows how he brought himself down. This edition includes a new afterword revealing the fascinating-and frequently hilarious-story of Nixon's efforts to regain respectability after he'd been forced from office, and also offers original insights into the meaning of Watergate and Nixon. Rich with new information unavailable at the time, the afterword is a major addition to a unique and enduring work of reportage.
