From one of our most esteemed historical novelists, a remarkable
retelling of the Watergate scandal, as seen through a kaleidoscope
of its colorful perpetrators and investigators.
For all the monumental documentation that Watergate
generated--uncountable volumes of committee records, court
transcripts, and memoirs--it falls at last to a novelist
reconstruct some of the scandal's greatest mysteries (who did erase
those eighteen-and-a-half minutes of tape?) and to see this gaudy
American catastrophe in its human entirety. In "Watergate," Thomas
Mallon conveys the drama and high comedy of the Nixon presidency
through the urgent perspectives of seven characters we only thought
we knew before now. Mallon achieves with "Watergate" a scope and
historical intimacy that surpasses even what he attained in his
previous novels, and turns a "third-rate burglary" into a
tumultuous, first-rate entertainment.
