Bob Woodward Watergate
Both Bob and Carl Bernstein were assigned to investigate the June 17, 1972, break-in at the Democratic National Committee’s headquarters in the Watergate office complex in Washington, D.C. Their work became notable for being the first to report on a number of political “dirty tricks” performed by the Nixon re-election committee during his re-election campaign, thanks to editor Ben Bradlee.
All the President’s Men, their book on the scandal, became a No. 1 bestseller and was later adapted into a film. The 1976 film, featuring Robert Redford as Woodward and Dustin Hoffman as Bernstein, elevated the reporters to celebrity status and sparked a surge of interest in investigative reporting.
The identity of Woodward’s secret Watergate informant known as Deep Throat, a reference to the title of a famous pornographic film at the time, remains a mystery thanks to the book and movie. Deep Throat’s identity would be kept a secret until the man died or permitted his name to be revealed, according to Woodward.
Only Woodward, Bernstein, and a few others knew the informant’s identity for more than 30 years until his family revealed it to Vanity Fair magazine in May 2005 as former Federal Bureau of Investigation Associate Director W. Mark Felt. Woodward instantly confirmed the authenticity of this accusation and went on to write a book about his connection with Felt, titled The Secret Man.
Following up on All the President’s Men, Woodward and Bernstein wrote The Final Days, a follow-up to All the President’s Men that covered the time from November 1973 until President Nixon’s resignation in August 1974 in great detail.
