Carl Bernstein Livres

Carl Bernstein, figure légendaire du journalisme américain depuis son rôle clef dans l'affaire du Watergate, a contribué avec son coéquipier Bob Woodward à faire basculer les rapports entre la presse et le pouvoir. Il nous livre aujourd'hui une grande biographie de Hillary Clinton, fruit de huit années de travail. Riche de multiples interviews de nombreux proches d'Hillary - amis, collaborateurs, opposants -, le livre de Carl Bernstein dresse un portrait contrasté de celle qui fut la première dame et qui pourrait bien devenir la première femme présidente des États-Unis. Il ne s'agit pas d'une biographie " autorisée " puisque ni Bill ni Hillary n'ont accepté de participer à ce livre. Au-delà du portrait d'Hillary, Bernstein esquisse un tableau tout en finesse de ce duo exceptionnel qui a occupé la Maison-Blanche pendant huit ans, examinant sous tous ses aspects - personnels, psychologiques, professionnels - le fonctionnement d'un " couple politique " par excellence. Le livre donne aussi au public français un aperçu révélateur, et par moments quasi romanesque, des arcanes de la vie politique américaine depuis les années soixante-dix, et permet de mieux comprendre la personnalité complexe de celle qui, tantôt adulée, tantôt décriée, pourrait bientôt être le nouveau visage de l'Amérique.

In Washington, D.C., where secrets are hard to keep, the identity of Deep Throat, the source who aided Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in uncovering the Watergate scandal, remained concealed for 33 years. Woodward recounts his intricate relationship with W. Mark Felt, the former No. 2 at the FBI, who played a pivotal role in ending Richard Nixon's presidency. From their initial encounter in the Nixon White House to clandestine meetings in an underground garage, the narrative spans the aftermath of Watergate and Felt's eventual revelation at age 91. A former admirer of J. Edgar Hoover, Felt found himself entangled in a significant power struggle as Nixon's administration sought to control the FBI and obscure its crimes. The book delves into the clash between fleeting political power and the enduring bureaucracy of government, exploring Felt's motivations as he became Deep Throat, confirming Woodward and Bernstein's findings and illuminating Nixon's extensive criminal activities. Woodward also reflects on his evolving relationship with Felt amid legal troubles, including Felt's trial and subsequent pardon by Ronald Reagan. This exploration of trust, deception, and a lifetime of secrets reveals Woodward's personal struggles in understanding his bond with this extraordinary source, ultimately shedding light on one of the final chapters of Watergate.
