The Watergate delusion, embraced by millions, is that swashbuckling Bob Woodward and the left confronted the malevolent Nixon administration as it cast a sinister pall over America and slayed it with the lance of truth, thereby saving democracy. But the actual evidence demonstrates that Watergate was not a shining example of democracy, and Bob Woodward’s place among the pantheon of journalistic immortals is a grift. One of the grand deceptions of Watergate is that Nixon’s enemies on the left razed his presidency, but it was actually his enemies on the right—the far right—who initially had the means, motive, and opportunity. And although Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein told numerous lies throughout their Watergate reporting, Woodward’s Big Lie was that he didn’t meet Alexander Haig until 1973. As \u003ci\u003eThe Truth About Watergate\u003c\/i\u003e takes the reader on a guided tour of the extraordinary lies and liars of Watergate, its demonstrates that Woodward’s fabrication about Haig has seismic implications. If Woodward’s Big Lie about Haig had been exposed, then the synergistic mythologies of  Bob Woodward and “Deep Throat” would have been shattered and swept away by gusts of veracity. \u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e has scorned prior Watergate revisionist books, like \u003ci\u003eSilent Coup: The Removal of a President \u003c\/i\u003eas a conspiracy theory, but \u003ci\u003eThe Truth About Watergate\u003c\/i\u003e shows\u003ci\u003e The Washington Post \u003c\/i\u003ehas fervent, utilitarian motives for banishing \u003ci\u003eSilent Coup\u003c\/i\u003e to the conspiracy theory ghetto.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41664731185249,"sku":"9781634244282","price":18.17,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_33025453.jpg?v=1742455465","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781634244282-the-truth-about-watergate","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
