The story of Watergate is usually told through the prism of the straight, white male journalists and politicians who were at the center of the scandal-but Watergate happened to all of us - wives, mothers, children, black, white, queer, immigrants. Those voices and perceptions are rarely heard today.
EVERYTHING YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT WATERGATE was envisioned as a book that looks at the wider ripples of the Watergate explosion and how it changed the way Americans saw themselves, their country and the world around them.
This is both a serious, and irreverent book, put together by a team of two newspaper journalists and ten college interns from throughout the country. Think of it as a primer on Watergate for the generation that grew up watching The Daily Show.
