All The President's Men Summary
Morgan Dunston
All the Presidents Men
All the Presidents Men was written by Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward. Between 1972 and 1976, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein emerged as two of the most famous journalists in America and forever became known as the reporters who broke the biggest story in American politics. When every other newspaper dismissed the Watergate Scandal as nonsense, these two men came together and uncovered the true story. Beginning with the investigation of a "third-rate burglary" of the Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Watergate complex, Woodward and Bernstein uncovered a system of political "dirty tricks" and crimes that eventually led to indictments of forty White House and administration officials. Their

There is a recurring theme of “dirty politics” and the extremes that politicians will go through in order to secure a seat in office. Woodward and Bernstein's notes from source interviews, drafts of newspaper stories and books, memos, letters, tape recordings, research materials, and other Watergate papers was evidence used to support the authors argument throughout the book. All the President's Men was a very hard book to read. It really seemed like the story wasn't going anywhere until the last few chapters. It actually seemed like the same exact things were happening over and over, but with different people being interviewed. It did provide a few pictures of some of the men involved and a few footnotes to better explain a few things. These did help, but it wasn't enough for me to really enjoy the story or remember each person. I think that the story needs to be told, but in a few less words. It was a very important case for the United States, but not many people would like to or would need to know so many details about every single conversation and discovery involved. These things are great for historians, but not in a story. Overall, the book was written well and very informational, but I would not recommend it to be read for

    He describes the conspiracy as if he was there and almost puts you in the midst of every conversation and every decision made. John Wilkes Booth first decided to get rid of Abraham Lincoln the day after the presidential election of 1864. The author describes Booth as a strong man and somewhat smart. He was emotionally immature but very prideful in his own ways. Booth was a southerner by choice and decided to contribute to the confederacy in a big way. He first decided to capture Lincoln. The author says he had no fear for life. After Booth thought up his schemes, he finally decided upon one. He tested it and perfected his attack. He got his conspirators together and they talked and planned it out. They even had alternative options in case they needed to change any of their plans. The author has such small descriptions of every day and what people did, you can get lost in this book. The author goes through every hour before and after the assassination of Lincoln. He speaks about who talked to who, who ate and drank what, what they were doing, what time they went, etc…It gets somewhat overwhelming to interpret what the author is saying because he…

    In my own critical opinion of the book, it is very dirt and unentertaining (probably because Lincoln does not real interesting to me). Because of this, it was extremely difficult to make myself read the book, not to mention read a book review on it. One will not be recommending this book to others because I know no one who really loves history. One would notice that the chapters were argumentative, and notice that the author uses primary and secondary sources. The author also uses end notes for his sources.…

    The level of detail that is included is incredible, and although there is no traditional 'story-line' to keep the reader hooked, Hal doesn't even try to dress it up - it's a very well-written, factual overview of the situation, getting a lot of details across very quickly. I like this style of writing, as there is no drama involved with it, its just very accurate and to the point. The list of 'important' personnel is very interesting, and I have already bookmarked it - I'm sure it'll be very, very useful later on.…

    During the last moments of Nixon’s first term he grew extremely paranoid as to if he was going to get re-elected for a second term. He appointed members of his reelection committee to compromise the trust that voters felt in his competitors. Different jobs included making untrue accusations in front of rival supporters, acting as a supporter of the opponent, and working in the election campaign of the challenger. In the summer of the election year 1972, the FBI found 5 men raiding the Democratic Election office in the Watergate building, hence the name. These men were from Nixon’s election committee and were found wiretapping phones and searching threw office desk drawers.…

    The book is a great piece of history. Aside from the fact that it does teach about the racial history of the time, it also shows what general life was like. It shows in great detail what the North and the South were like from the perspective of a young, lower-class, poor boy. We get to see what everything was like through his eyes and relate it to ourselves in this day and age. It also allows us to see how even today we can be ridiculous over the smallest things just like people in the book are.…

    Lennie and George are best friends traveling together in search of work on northern California farms. These two are flat broke – as in, "not even any quarters in the couch" broke. This is not good, as they have a dream of owning their own idyllic farm someday. George is the "brains" behind this operation – a smart guy who does all the talking when it comes to finding and keeping work. Lennie is physically strong, yet mentally slow. While both George and Lennie are good workers, they can’t hold down jobs for long due to Lennie's childlike mentality and odd fetish for petting things, which includes mice, rabbits, puppies, and…women. (This last one, of course, being the biggest issue).…

    The Killing Lincoln Essay

    • 464 Words

    The novel is an enjoyable and entertaining read, yet there are a vast number who do not believe so. Killing Lincoln has been banned from one of the Ford’s Theatre bookstores while the others still continue to sell it (Horowitz). In my opinion, I feel that is a little absurd. O’Reilly states that there were several meetings held in the oval office before the oval office was even constructed. Yes that is incorrect because it was not constructed until the Taft administration, but it is a minor detail. It does not take away from the bigger picture and importance of why the book was written in the first place. His next mistake was citing that the Ford Theatre was burned in 1862 instead of 1861. Does one year make that big of a difference to all those historians out there? The peephole in the state box door was carved by Harry Ford, manager of the Ford’s Theatre, not Booth but by stating that Booth had carved the peephole, it keeps the readers on their toes and more interested. It spices things up. That’s what books are meant to do. Attract and hook readers into the novel. That was O’Reilly’s goal. Not to just write another history book, but to write one that could be informational while entertaining at the same time even though that means making the slightest mistakes to keep it entertaining.…

    The reporters uncovered trails of people and hush money leading to government officials, including the President. Newly elected President Nixon denied any involvement in the break-in, but under severe public and political pressure he appointed a special prosecutor to investigate the event.

Nixon refused to give up the tape citing Article II of the Constitution. Unable to get the tapes from Nixon, a grand jury charged seven aides of the President for conspiracy to obstruct justice and other offences related to the Watergate Scandal.…

    Kennedy on November 22, 1963. Nixon said that he first heard about Kennedy's death during a taxi ride in New York City. However, a United Press International photo taken that day tells a different story. The photo shows a "shocked Richard Nixon" having already learned of Kennedy's assassination upon his arrival at New York's Idle Wild Airport. In other words, before he rode the taxi. Perhaps Nixon was trying to get the attention away from the fact that the plane he had arrived on had came from Dallas, Texas. Indeed, Nixon (as he later admitted) had been in Dallas from November 20 to the 22. While in Dallas, Nixon had attended meetings with right-wing politicians and executives from the Pepsi-Cola company. Both Nixon and Crawford made comments in the Dallas newspapers to the effect that they, unlike the President, didn't need Secret Service protection. This could lead to the fact that they wanted John Kennedy dead. Other facts linking Nixon to the JFK assassination emerged years later during the Watergate conspiracy, some of which were revealed by Nixon's former chief of staff, H. R. Haldeman in his memoir, The Ends of Power. Haldeman cites several conversations where Nixon expressed concern about the Watergate affair becoming public knowledge and where this exposure might…

    Robert Dallek, a biographer of Lyndon Johnson, said the news media may have suffered over the years by its own rise in prominence and by the public's general disillusionment in institutions generally. But, he said, "as a presidential historian who gets into the records 30, 35 years after the fact, I know how much manipulation there is, how much spin doctoring there is." Mr. Dallek, who is writing a book about the relationship between Nixon and Henry Kissinger, said that on Friday he taped a television interview with among others, Mr. Buchanan, who repeated his theory that there was a "political coup" against Nixon by the…

    The first Washington Post story was filed by veteran police reporter Alfred E. Lewis on June 18, 1972. The first Bernstein and Woodward report came on June 19, 1972. They also had the second report and they became known for their report. The first report about Nixon never became famous. The interesting part is that it took two whole years for anyone to unfold the mystery, and have it lead to the president. The court gave up on the case and they ended it with the five men being arrested for theft. Bernstein and Woodward investigated the case. They talked to many people who they thought were involved, but not a lot of people gave them any information because they did not want to be part of it. These men worked hard for months to find the information they were looking for. Many people were even told not to give the writers information about the Watergate Scandal. This was the last chance to get Nixon caught and possibly resigned. These men wanted to investigate in the Watergate Scandal, but they had no idea that it would lead to the President of the United States. Woodward and Bernstein never found any evidence that he ordered the break in, but they found that Nixon covered it up and all of “the president's men” were behind the Scandal too. The reporters thought this could change history. They made Nixon admit to lying about covering the…

    This scandal was about how Richard Nixon sent people into the Democratic National Committee headquarters, at the Watergate office complex, so he could information that would possibly help him for the upcoming election(which he didn’t really need because he won by a landslide). Perhaps the most controversial of all the pardons, President Gerald Ford pardoned his predecessor Richard Nixon in attempt to quell the spirit of disharmony and distrust that was growing rapidly in the United States of America because of this scandal that became known as Watergate. Many people believe that this incident was a vile miscarriage of justice that should never have happened and that this is just another glaring example of the Republicans trying to subvert American democracy. However, Ford’s reason for pardoning Nixon was not of “the ultimate fate of Richard Nixon”, but his “concern is the immediate future of this great country.”(Ford,…
