Beginning with the story of a simple burglary at Democratic headquarters and then continuing with headline after headline, Bernstein and Woodward kept the tale of conspiracy and the trail of dirty tricks coming -- delivering the stunning revelations and pieces in the Watergate puzzle that brought about Nixon's scandalous downfall. Their explosive reports won a Pulitzer Prize for The Washington Post and toppled the President.

We see the shaping of Hillary as a self-described “mind conservative and heart liberal” —her ostensibly idyllic Midwestern girlhood (her mother a nurturer, but her father a disciplinarian, harsher than she has acknowledged); her early development of deep religious feelings; her curiosity fueled by dedicated teachers, by exposure to Martin Luther King Jr., by the ferment of the sixties, and, above all, by a desire to change the world. At Wellesley, we watch Hillary, a Republican turned Democrat, thriving in the new sky’s-the-limit freedom for women, already perceived as a spokeswoman for her generation, her commencement speech celebrated in Life magazine. And the book takes us to Yale Law School as Hillary meets and falls in love with Bill Clinton and cancels her dream to go her own way, to New York or Washington, tying her fortune, instead, to his in Arkansas.

Bernstein clarifies the often amazing dynamic of their marriage, shows us the extent to which Hillary has been instrumental in the triumphs and troubles of Bill Clinton’s governorship and presidency, and sheds light on her own political brilliance and her blind spots—especially her suspicion and mishandling of the press and her overt hostility to the opposition that clouded her entry into the capital. He untangles her relationship to Whitewater, Troopergate, and Travelgate. He leads us to understand the failure of her health care initiative.

In the emotional and political chaos of the Lewinsky affair we see Hillary, despite her immense hurt and anger, standing by her husband—evoking a rising wave of sympathy from a public previously cool to her. It helps carry her into the Senate, where she applies the political lessons she has learned. It is now her time. As she decides to run for president, her husband now her valued aide, she has one more chance to fulfill her ambition for herself—to change the world.

In his preparation for A Woman in Charge, Bernstein reexamined everything pertinent written about and by Hillary Clinton. He interviewed some two hundred of her colleagues, friends, and enemies and was allowed unique access to the candid record of the 1992 presidential campaign kept by Hillary’s best friend, Diane Blair.

He has given us a book that enables us, at last, to address the questions Americans are insistently—even obsessively—asking about Hillary Clinton: What is her character? What is her political philosophy? Who is she? What can we expect of her?]]> 15445 4.00 2997 366 2007 27512 0743274067 9780743274067 23 <![CDATA[The Final Days]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167881552m/27512.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167881552s/27512.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27512.The_Final_Days 3.81 237 The Final Days is the classic, behind-the-scenes account of Richard Nixon's dramatic last months as president. Moment by moment, Bernstein and Woodward portray the taut, post-Watergate White House as Nixon, his family, his staff, and many members of Congress strained desperately to prevent his inevitable resignation. This brilliant book reveals the ordeal of Nixon's fall from office -- one of the gravest crises in presidential history.]]> 15441 3.75 7066 901 15445 4.00 2997 366 1976 744045 0140266917 9780140266917 3 <![CDATA[His Holiness]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1177946957m/744045.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1177946957s/744045.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/744045.His_Holiness 3.43 14 His Holiness. Citing meetings between Pope John Paul II and high-level officials in the Reagan administration--including William Casey, director of the C.I.A.--they point to a "secret alliance" as the factor that sealed the collapse of Communism. The evidence marshaled by Bernstein and Politi--ranging from formerly secret American diplomatic cables to formerly secret Soviet Politburo minutei--doesn't always justify their bold conclusion, but it does provide plenty of new information about a key set of events in modern history.]]> 15445 4.00 2997 366 380010 3.47 15 3 1996 1971014 0671695983 9780671695989 1 <![CDATA[Loyalties: A Son's Memoir]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1971014.Loyalties_A_Son_s_Memoir 3.14 7 15445 4.00 2997 366 1989 208903 0440045509 9780440045502 0 <![CDATA[The Fall of a President]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/208903.The_Fall_of_a_President 4.50 4 15441 3.75 7066 901 15445 4.00 2997 366 1974 3405059 0091920795 9780091920791 0 <![CDATA[SOS Title Unknown]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3405059.SOS_Title_Unknown 0.0 0 15445 4.00 2997 366 2007 7143587 0 <![CDATA[Nixonov padec]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7143587-nixonov-padec 0.0 0 15441 3.75 7066 901 15445 4.00 2997 366 1979 6904907 3421059284 9783421059284 0 <![CDATA[Der Informant: Deep Throat, die geheime Quelle der Watergate-Enthüller Mit einem Nachwort von Carl Bernstein]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6904907-der-informant 0.0 0 Der Informant liest sich wie ein Kriminalroman jener Sorte, der Woodwards und Carl Bernsteins Enthüllungen seit Jahrzehnten immer wieder als phantastische Vorlage gedient hatten. Tatsächlich, so kann man nach der Lektüre sagen, steht die Wirklichkeit der Fiktion in nichts nach.

"Für uns", schreibt Carl Bernstein in seinem Nachwort, "war es von entscheidender Bedeutung, dass wir Felt nicht in den Rücken fielen oder gegen das journalistische Prinzip verstießen, dass die Vertraulichkeit einer Quelle zu wahren ist." Woodwards Buch dokumentiert die Hintergründe einer Recherche, bei der Felt die zweifellos wichtigste, aber keineswegs die einzige Quelle war. Und es dokumentiert eine berufsethische Entschlossenheit, die angesichts immer massiverer Anfechtungen heute kaum mehr aufrecht zu erhalten ist. Auch deshalb, vor allem aber, weil der Autor nun, da er "Deep Throat" nicht mehr schützen muss, über Details berichtet, die er damals aus guten Gründen für sich behielt: Lesenswert! -- Hasso Greb
