I think you have a point in both this and your previous post. I have next to zero interest in political memoirs and can only recall reading a single one in the past 5 years or so. I'm starting to seriously considering reading this for the simple purpose of seeing how Woodward has presented it. |
Yea, you are right. It's All the President's Men, which was a take off of All the King's Men, a fairly well known 1946 novel loosely based on Huey Long of Louisiana that was later made into a movie. I'm pretty sure that Nixon was never accused of the type of corruption that Huey Long was, but it does tell you where Woodward was coming from.
