In \u003ci\u003eWatergate\u003c\/i\u003e, Thomas Mallon conveys the drama and high comedy of the Nixon presidency through the urgent perspectives of seven characters we only thought we knew before now. Mallon achieves with \u003ci\u003eWatergate\u003c\/i\u003e a scope and historical intimacy that surpasses even what he attained in his previous novels, and turns a third-rate burglary into a tumultuous, first-rate entertainment.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53508536992017,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780307474650.jpg?v=1778148969","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-watergate-by-thomas-mallon","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
