Author Garrett M. Graff Discusses His Book 'Watergate: A New History'

Richard Nixon won a 49-state victory in the 1972 election. Inquiries into Watergate began in 1973, and in August 1974 he resigned from the presidency.

[REBROADCAST FROM MARCH 30, 2022] It has been 50 years since five men broke into the Watergate office complex and attempted to bug and burgle the Democratic National Committee Offices. Now, author Garrett M. Graff has published a comprehensive history of the scandal and subsequent fallout, titled, Watergate: A New History. Kirkus calls it, "The best and fullest account of the crisis, one unlikely to be surpassed anytime soon." Graff joins us to discuss, and to take calls from listeners with their comments and questions about Watergate fifty years later.
