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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLiterature \u0026amp; Fiction\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHumor \u0026amp; Satire\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eSatire\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Used - Acceptable","offer_id":48699770831038,"sku":"0307474658-5","price":15.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/61hL34f2uuL.jpg?v=1786458794","url":"https:\/\/shop.sustainablebooks.com\/products\/0307474658-watergate_a_novel","provider":"Sustainable Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
