This collection opens with the Washington Post's 18 June 1972 story on burglars arrested at the Democratic National Committee offices in the Watergate complex. From there you follow the paper's reporting to Richard Nixon's resignation about two years later, in a selection first released as a Kindle Single for the scandal's 40th anniversary.

Core ideas
  • Curated, not complete: You get a selection of the articles rather than the full run, with narrative passages connecting one piece to the next.
  • The reporters look back: Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein open the collection with an assessment of the reporting's lasting impact.
  • What it led to: The coverage won the Post a Pulitzer Prize and became the basis for the book and film All the President's Men.
