Review - Watergate

I would have enjoyed it more if it had less of the day to day account of what everyone was thinking and more of the cultural impact and media coverage.

I remember a little bit about Watergate — the names of the major players, Rose Mary Wood’s explanation of her tape erasure, Nixon quitting — but I didn’t have a good feel of how it all fit together. Now I do.
