Personal History

 By Katherine Graham. 1997. I read parts of this for a book discussion years ago. I wanted to read this again after watching the film The Post with Tom Hanks as Ben Bradlee and Meryl Streep as Katherine Graham about publishing the Pentagon Papers. I was also interested in reading about Watergate in her own words. I was impressed by her life story, a fascinating woman.

K Street Killing

 A Washington Whodunit by Colleen J. Shogan. 2018.

All the President's Men

 The greatest reporting story of all time. By Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward. With an afterword on the legacies of Watergate and Richard Nixon. 40th anniversary edition. 1974. 2012. The Afterword was originally published in The Washington Post on June 8, 2012. By Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward. Simon and Schuster trade paperback published 2014.

A rereading by me, the first probably read in 1975, after Nixon's resignation.
