Understanding Power through Watergate uses the Watergate Affair as a case study to highlight the Washington collective power dynamic.

Academics in the fields of political science, American history, and sociology, as well as individuals involved in politics will be interested in this book. This work will also be a valuable supplement to graduate and undergraduate political science and sociology courses.
