This book examines ten major political scandals involving the White
House in the past 50 years, revealing how the investigative
reporters behind the stories uncovered the hidden truths. On
numerous occasions, the dogged efforts of investigative journalists
have led to a dissemination of information that had a direct effect
on the course of American history—the Bay of Pigs fiasco, the
Watergate scandal, "Monicagate" of the Clinton administration, and
the Enron accounting scandal. The Inside Stories of Modern
Political Scandals: How Investigative Reporters Have Changed the
Course of American History features in-depth interviews with all
living journalists responsible for revealing major political
scandals involving the White House, including Bob Woodward and Carl
Bernstein, the reporters responsible for bringing the Watergate
scandal to the light of day. The author presents a fascinating view
into the "story behind the story" regarding the ten most momentous,
modern-day political scandals in America. Containing both anecdotes
from the investigative reporters involved and specific examples
from published articles, this text reveals the specific methods
used by these award-winning journalists to successfully pursue
their stories and earn their titles as watchdogs of our government,
our military, and big business.
