Marshall, Kingsley ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2518-7305 (2012) The Cinematic Watergate: From All the President's Men to Frost/Nixon. In: Watergate Remembered. Palgrave Macmillan, London. ISBN 978-0230116504

Abstract / Summary

'Watergate Remembered' examines Watergate as a constitutional crisis rather than a scandal, the more conventional label, and evaluates its enduring significance for late 20th and early 21st century American politics, notably regarding the perpetuation of the imperial presidency, scandal politics, campaign finance reform, the public presidency, and cinematic imagery.

The book grew out of a US Presidency Centre symposium on Watergate, held at the Institute for the Study of the Americas in late 2009, and was expanded into an international collaboration in association with the Institute of Leadership Studies at Loyola-Marymount College, Los Angeles. It is simultaneously published in both hardback and paperback, and contains original research essays by four UK scholars and five US scholars.
