New Releases by Carl Bernstein

A New York Times bestseller In this triumphant memoir, Carl Bernstein, the Pulitzer Prize-winning coauthor of All the President’s Men and pioneer of investigative journalism, recalls his beginnings as an audacious teenage newspaper reporter in the nation’s capital—a winning tale of scrapes, gumshoeing, and American bedlam. In 1960, Bernstein was just a sixteen-year-old at considerable risk of failing to graduate high school. Inquisitive, self-taught—and, yes, truant—Bernstein landed a job as a copyboy at the Evening Star, the afternoon paper in Washington. By nineteen, he was a reporter there. In Chasing History: A Kid in the Newsroom, Bernstein recalls the origins of his storied journalistic career as he chronicles the Kennedy era, the swelling civil rights movement, and a slew of grisly crimes. He spins a buoyant, frenetic account of educating himself in what Bob Woodward describes as “the genius of perpetual engagement.” Funny and exhilarating, poignant and frank, Chasing History is an extraordinary memoir of life on the cusp of adulthood for a determined young man with a dogged commitment to the truth.

As a young journalist at the Washington Post in 1972, Bob Woodward was sent to cover what would become the Watergate scandal, perhaps the most devastating political scandal of the 20th century. All the President''s Men was published just months before Richard Nixon''s resignation and uncovered Watergate in all its gritty details. Así definió la revista Time este libro, publicado por primera vez en 1974, ganador del premio Pulitzer y considerado como uno de los 100 mejores libros de no ficción de todos los tiempos. Todos los hombres del presidente vuelve a cobrar relevancia tras los conflictivos comienzos de la presidencia de Donald Trump, cuando muchos especulan sobre la posibilidad de que sea sometido a un proceso de destitución como el que forzó a Richard Nixon a dimitir tras las investigaciones narradas en este libro. Recién llegado a la redacción de The Washington Post en 1972, Bob Woodward fue enviado a cubrir la siguiente noticia: «Cinco hombres, uno de los cuales afirma ser un antiguo empleado de la CIA, fueron detenidos ayer sábado a las 2:30 de la madrugada cuando intentaban llevar a cabo lo que las autoridades han descrito como un complejo plan para espiar las oficinas del Comité Nacional de Partido Demócrata en Washington.» Woodward asistió a la toma de declaraciones preliminares por parte del juez y descubrió que, el que se declaraba empleado de la CIA, no era otro que James McCord, coordinador de seguridad del Comité para la Reelección del Presidente. Woodward y Bernstein comenzaron una investigación a fondo que concluyó en el escándalo político más devastador del siglo xx. Publicado pocos meses antes de la dimisión de Richard Nixon, Todos los hombres del presidente descubre el escándalo Watergate en todo su alcance, introduciendo por primera vez a Garganta Profunda, la misteriosa fuente de los autores.

A Vintage Shorts Selection From the definitive, humanizing biography of one of the most powerful and widely misunderstood women of our time: Hillary Rodham Clinton. Pulitzer Prize–winning reporter Carl Bernstein sheds light on Hillary’s political development during her four years as an impressionable but fierce undergraduate at Wellesley. In thick, Coke-bottle glasses, here is an ambitious young student—galvanized by the assassination of Martin Luther King and the women’s liberation movement—fighting to be recognized by the East coast elite. Bernstein reveals a side of Hillary not often seen in a tender, heartening, and measured depiction of her even-keeled transformation from a Barry Goldwater conservative raised in a staunchly anti-communist household in Illinois into an “agnostic intellectual liberal” and an impassioned progressive dedicated to peaceful and pragmatic reform. An ebook short.

It began with a break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington DC, on 17 June 1972. Bob Woodward, a journalist for the Washington Post, was called into the office on a Saturday morning to cover the story. Carl Bernstein, a political reporter on the Post, was also assigned. They soon learned this was no ordinary burglary. Following lead after lead, Woodward and Bernstein picked up a trail of money, conspiracy and high-level pressure that ultimately led to the doors of the Oval Office. Men very close to the President were implicated, and then Richard Nixon himself. Over a period of months, Woodward met secretly with Deep Throat, for decades the most famous anonymous source in the history of journalism. As he and Bernstein pieced the jigsaw together, they produced a series of explosive stories that would not only win the Post a Pulitzer Prize, they would bring about the President''s scandalous downfall. ALL THE PRESIDENT''S MEN documents this amazing story. Taut, gripping and fascinating, it is a classic of its kind -- the true story of the events that changed the American presidency.

Le scandale du Watergate a trente ans. L''enquête policière la plus dévastatrice du siècle fut menée par deux jeunes et brillants journalistes désormais célèbres dans le monde entier, Carl Bernstein et Bob Woodward. Voici réédité le récit de leur stupéfiante histoire. À partir d''un cambriolage spectaculaire au Q.G. du parti démocrate américain, les deux journalistes vont aboutir, malgré les pièges, les fausses pistes et les pressions politiques, à la découverte de l''incroyable vérité qui causa la démission du président Nixon. Aujourd''hui, le puzzle du Watergate est complet : en mai 2005, l''ancien numéro 2 du FBI, Mark Felt, a reconnu qu''il avait été l''informateur anonyme des deux journalistes du Washington Post. La révélation de Mark Felt, alias " Gorge profonde ", apporte au récit de Carl Bernstein et Bob Woodward un éclairage qui rend encore plus passionnante la lecture de ce récit plus actuel que jamais.

With compelling journalism, drama, history, and biography, this detailed chronicle of the life and circumstances surrounding Pope John Paul II draws on hundreds of interviews with key players and explores how the Vatican has gained new power under his control.

Sa Sainteté constitue la première grande biographie politique sur le pontificat de Jean-Paul II. Au terme de plusieurs années d''enquêtes menées à Rome, Washington, Moscou et Varsovie, au cours desquelles ils ont recueilli des centaines de témoignages, Carl Bernstein et Marco Politi brossent un tableau fascinant de l''action - à bien des égards encore inconnue - menée par le premier pape non italien élu depuis cinq cents ans. Né dans une petite ville polonaise où 20 pour cent de la population était juive, le futur Jean-Paul II deviendra plus tard l''archevêque du diocèse où se trouve Auschwitz. En tant que pape, il forcera le Vatican à reconnaître l''Etat d''Israël. Mais il restera avant tout dans l''histoire comme l''homme qui a joué un rôle décisif dans la destruction de l''empire soviétique, ridiculisant la formule méprisante de Staline : "Le pape, combien de divisions ?" Les auteurs ont eu accès aux archives du bureau politique du Parti communiste soviétique. Ils décrivent la grande peur des dirigeants de Moscou, leurs efforts, vains, pour endiguer l''énorme popularité de Jean-Paul II en Europe de l''Est et notamment dans sa Pologne natale. Ils entraînent le lecteur dans les coulisses du Vatican et révèlent surtout l''incroyable alliance passée entre Ronald Reagan et le souverain pontife. Peu après les attentats dont l''un et l''autre furent victimes, ils se rencontrèrent longuement à Rome et décidèrent d''unir leurs efforts, de conjuguer leurs moyens, afin d''abattre le communisme qualifié par le président américain "d''empire du mal" et de mettre fin aux divisions héritées de Yalta. Les deux hommes s''estimaient guidés par la Providence. Chaque page contient des révélations et ce livre restera comme un document historique Incontournable pour tous ceux qui veulent comprendre les extraordinaires événements qui ont marqué notre fin de siècle.
