_ // __Watergate: The Presidential Scandal That Shook America__ // Keith W. Olson May 2003 Maggie Rehr I chose this book because I wanted to just get to know more about Nixon as well as Watergate, and I like it when political books offer a behind-the-scenes aspect in their writing. The book was well written, Olson delivering the facts, though his tone gives the book a more engaging edge. He weaves names, dates, and organizations together, telling you what you need to know while keeping the reader entertained. He almost makes a nonfiction work flow like a story, with characters you could swear had been put in place to strengthen a made-up plot. I learned a lot about the scandal in reading the book, and even if you don’t like nonfiction, cos I don’t really, I would still recommend //__Watergate: The Presidential Scandal That Shook America__// because Olson pulls you into the story of it all.
