Deep Truth: The Lives of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein by Adrian Havill
Requirements: .PDF reader, 3.3 MB, Digitized
Overview: Arguably America’s best-known journalists, Woodward & Bernstein won a Pulitzer Prize for The Washington Post and wrote six #1 bestsellers between them (as of 1993). In this revelatory biography, Havill has amassed a wealth of dirt-dishing detail that resolves the facts from the myths of Woodward and Bernstein’s personal lives and professional legacy.
Pilloried in ex-wife Nora Ephron’s 1983 memoir, Heartburn, Carl Bernstein is portrayed as over-indulging his love of wine, women, and the nightlife only at the cost of his considerable writing talent. By contrast, the ambitious, thrice-wed Bob Woodward (who was taken in by Janet Cooke and her fabricated tale of a preteen heroin addict) emerges as a steel-willed control freak more proficient at currying favor than cultivating adult relationships. He also suggests that Woodward’s unusual access to government secrets has roots in contacts from Yale and his work at the Pentagon, speculating that Woodward may have been employed with the CIA.
Deep Truth presents a balanced and heavily documented view of the controversies that have dogged Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein for years. In its portrait of the news and book industries, it also illustrates how these two men helped usher journalism into the age of infotainment. Deep Truth is an important reexamination of two influential but imperfect journalistic heroes.
