Watergate: A New History Audiobook— narrated by Garrett M. Graff and Jacques Roy
Garrett Graff assembles the fullest single-volume account of Watergate yet, tracking the scandal from the Pentagon Papers leak through the break-in, the cover-up, and Nixon's resignation using decades of newly available material.
Why the audiobook wins
Graff reads his own book alongside Jacques Roy, and for a history assembled this recently out of newly released material, hearing the historian make the case has weight. Twenty-five hours is the fullest single-volume Watergate account there is, running from the Pentagon Papers through the break-in, the cover-up and the resignation.
The length is the argument. Watergate is usually told as a burglary and a tape, and Graff's point is that it was a years-long pattern with a much larger cast, most of whom you have never heard of. Twenty-five hours is what it takes to hold that many operatives, lawyers and plumbers in your head at once, and two narrators keep the roll call navigable.
Twenty-five hours on how it actually happened. One Audible credit covers it.
