Woodward and Bernstein's book revealed the intricate story of the Watergate scandal, starting with the break-in at the Democratic headquarters in the Watergate Hotel in 1972, and exposing the full extent of the scandal. They introduced their enigmatic source known as "Deep Throat," forever changing the landscape of investigative journalism.
The impact of All the President's Men was profound, with The Denver Post hailing it as "one of the greatest detective stories ever told," Time magazine calling it "perhaps the most influential piece of journalism in history," and The New York Times describing it as a "fast-moving mystery."
In 1976, the book was adapted into a film starring Robert Redford, Dustin Hoffman, and Jack Warden.
In 2014, Simon & Schuster released a 50th Anniversary Edition of the book, complete with a new foreword reflecting on the significance of Watergate in modern times.
