{"product_id":"watergate-604713-1","title":"Watergate","description":"In the early hours of June 17, 1972, a security guard named Frank Wills enters six words into the log book of the Watergate office complex that will change the course of history: 1:47 AM Found tape on doors; call police.\u003cbr\u003eThe subsequent arrests of five men seeking to bug and burgle the Democratic National Committee offices-three of them Cuban exiles, two of them former intelligence operatives-quickly unravels a web of scandal that ultimately ends a presidency and forever alters views of moral authority and leadership. Watergate, as the event is called, becomes a shorthand for corruption, deceit, and unanswered questions.\u003cbr\u003eNow, award-winning journalist and bestselling author Garrett M. Graff explores the full scope of this unprecedented moment from start to finish, in the first comprehensive, single-volume account in decades.\u003cbr\u003eThe story begins in 1971, with the publication of thousands of military and government documents known as the Pentagon Papers, which reveal dishonesty about the decades-long American presence in Vietnam and spark public outrage. Furious that the leak might expose his administration's own duplicity during a crucial reelection season, President Richard M. Nixon gathers his closest advisors and gives them implicit instructions: Win by any means necessary.","brand":"Trine University Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Book \/ Standard","offer_id":52119851663641,"sku":"025285145","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/7679\/9769\/files\/9781982139162.jpg?v=1773697243","url":"https:\/\/trine.bkstr.com\/products\/watergate-604713-1","provider":"Trine University Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
