My book All The President's Men by Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward is a very important and a quite valuable issue. The book is about the Watergate scandal where President Nixon gets impeached after being accused by the Washington Post of political sabotage and espionage, along with other crimes. He was found guilty for all crimes, so he was going to be inevitably impeached. But my book ends with a dramatic cliffhanger with him giving his resignation speech, but it ended without him finishing the speech. So later I did some research to find out, that in fact he did resign. So the reason my book is so important is because it is the first hand accounts of the two Washington Post reporters who were able to get the president impeached. This story will always be remembered in the future because the press will never ever be looked at the same. Until this issue the press were mostly looked at as just reporters who report whats happening, but this issue made them looked at as investigators who are able to expose the governments deepest secrets.

My book "All The President's Men" is based on the Watergate scandal where the Washington Post exposed president Nixon of his illegal and impeachable activities. Throughout this process most of America and especially the White House doubted the Press and thought they were corrupt. This connects to today's President Trump accusing news sources such as CNN for "fake news" and just like during the watergate scandal most news sources are trying to accuse him of impeachable evidence that may not be exactly true. Just like during the 1970's and present day, the American citizens are not sure who to trust and believe more their President or the Press.
My book is "All the Presidents Men", and is about the Watergate scandal and how it happened. The Watergate scandal took place in the early 1970's, it happened right after the Pentagon Papers leaked top secret information related to the Vietnam War. So people were already questioning the government. The Watergate scandal is when two journalists found recorded tapes in the Watergate hotel of President Richard Nixon making illegal deals. My book is written by Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward, and they were the two reporters who exposed the whole scandal. People across the nation had many different feelings when they read the article in The Washington Post, such as betrayed and mad. During this uproar Congress had voted to impeach President Nixon but before they could he resigned from presidential office. My book shows how the two journalists put all of the pieces to solve the Watergate Scandal, and since it is written by two primary sources they share some information that people have never heard.
