About this listen

In the most devastating political detective story of the 20th century, two Washington Post reporters, whose brilliant, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigation smashed the Watergate scandal wide open, tell the behind-the-scenes drama the way it really happened.

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. This is the book that changed America.

Where does All the President's Men rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Right up there. 5 stars.

What was one of the most memorable moments of All the President's Men?

The whole thing is memorable. Tense, intriguing and exciting and of course, very concerning.

What about Richard Poe’s performance did you like?

It was perfect. Clear and easy on the ear, it's read with an unhurried authority and weight that matched the seriousness and tension of the tale.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It's pretty breathtaking and heartbreaking too. It also makes you wonder who the new Woodward and Bernstein's would be these days and if any newspaper or publisher would have the belief and balls to stand by such reporting. The Washington Post folk were heroes.

Any additional comments?

I wasn't sure about getting this audiobook as I was already familiar with the story but the writing style and narration is so fascinating from the get go that I was hooked and cannot wait to recommend this to everyone I know. The 12 hr book just flew by without ever outstaying it's welcome. It really was excellent. Go listen!

The classic book of the two reporters from the Washington Post, who against all odds battled through the lies to get to the truth about Watergate and the cover up that took down the Nixon White House. An amazing piece of history, excellently read and the change in voices are very good.

One of the classic pieces of investigative journalism. A must read for anyone interested in how power corrupts.
The standard question in future history exams will be: The 1972 and 2016 US election campaigns, compare and contrast.

And you thought 2016 was interesting

This is a classic that helps to explain the current American political situation. To understand today listen to yesterday.

Political classic bang up to date

Unfolds as one of the great detective stories of the modern era., as Washington post reporters Woodward and Bernstien uncover an unprecedented scale of criminality that leads ever closer to the President of the USA Richard M Nixon. There is a moment when Woodward hears an account of Bob Haldman talking of dumping incriminating evidence into the Potomac when the full horror of Nixon's White House becomes clear to him. Nixon's fall less a Shakespearean tragedy than on a par with Brecht's Arturo Ui.

Gripping and Extraordinary Account

The greatest book on political espionage? Or both?
Remarkably well paced and expertly nuanced narration as well. Not that easy to listen to because of the multitude of characters and detailed scenarios involved but well worth it. And, amazingly, although from what now seems another almost pre-technology age, it doesn't seem the least bit dated.

Is this the greatest book on journalism or........

An absolutely fascinating story, which is both fact and action packed. The narrator carries the story and the weight of information with incredible ease. Highly recommended.

A compelling tale

A terrific story of one of the most tumultuous times of the US Presidency.
A complex narrative, heavy on names and dates, but clearly told.
The narration is solid and perfect for the subject matter. Whilst not an impersonation, the narrator's subtle change in tone when Nixon is being quoted is pitch perfect.
Still prescient and full of lessons that still need to be learned by US politics.

As gripping now as it was then.
