This reference provides background information about the Watergate
crisis and discusses its significance to U.S. politics today.
Relatively insignificant at first glance, the Watergate crisis led
to the downfall of a president and emerged as the most important
constitutional crisis since the Civil War. Journalists and the
media were instrumental in shedding light on Watergate and exposing
political corruption at the highest levels of government. Watergate
became part of American popular culture and synonymous with
presidential corruption. This book surveys the background of the
Watergate crisis and links it to contemporary American politics.
The first part of the book provides a narrative overview and
examination of the Watergate crisis, with a consideration of what
happened and why, and the relevance of Watergate to today's
political issues. The book considers such topics as political
corruption and impeachment, the role of the media, and the abuse of
presidential power. The book also offers biographical sketches of
key players in the Watergate crisis, a chronology, glossary,
primary source document excerpts, and an annotated bibliography.
