Watergate

Více o produktu ↓

originální anglická četba - Thomas Mallon zpracoval největší skandál, který se stal v roce 1972 ve Spojených státech, kdy do sídla Demokratické strany v komplexu Watergate ve Washingtonu, D.C. násilně vnikli pracovníci aparátu republikánského prezidenta Richarda Nixona s cílem umístit do budovy odposlech. Případ vedl až k rezignaci prezidenta USA a je dodnes považován za největší kauzu v dějinách žurnalistiky..... From one of our most esteemed historical novelists, a remarkable retelling of the Watergate scandal, as seen through a kaleidoscope of its colorful perpetrators and investigators. For all the monumental documentation that Watergate generated--uncountable volumes of committee records, court transcripts, and memoirs--it falls at last to a novelist reconstruct some of the scandal's greatest mysteries (who did erase those eighteen-and-a-half minutes of tape?) and to see this gaudy American catastrophe in its human entirety. In "Watergate," Thomas Mallon conveys the drama and high comedy of the Nixon presidency through the urgent perspectives of seven characters we only thought we knew before now. Mallon achieves with "Watergate" a scope and historical intimacy that surpasses even what he attained in his previous novels, and turns a "third-rate burglary" into a tumultuous, first-rate entertainment.
