Although historical events can be veiled in several ways, the truth will come into the light eventually. Although the details of the notorious Watergate scandal have been hushed down for a bunch of decades, people finally managed to find out the essential information which predetermined Nixon’s retirement and further political changes. Although it seemed obvious, and it has been officially proved that Nixon was to blame for what happened during Watergate, specific historical facts can confirm the opinion of thousands of people wrong. Like many other historical events, the Watergate case requires thorough considerations. It seems that in their book “After the Fact,” Davidson and Lythe offer rather objective analysis of the historical events connected with Nixon’s impeachment. It is important to note that the book’s authors provide only objective facts to the reader. Yet Davidson and Lythe’s book must be somewhat emotional. As one indulges in reading the book, it becomes evident that the authors oppose neither of the sides, but dishonesty in politics, the disability to compromise, and the fear to admit the truth, no matter how hard it could be. Considering the chapter in detail, one must note that the authors reflect on the Watergate case, considering each point which concerned the president or the people known as Plumbers. Since the correct evaluation of facts is crucial, the authors’ opinion works as a balance between the stiff description of the historical events and a more emotional interpretation of the story. It is quite peculiar that the authors of the book manage to balance between politics and real life. Therefore, with the help of the original approach, it becomes possible to see the facts of the Watergate case straight as they are, without any attempts of politics to disclose what they consider right and to conceal what they think will harm their reputation. Despite the complicacy of the case, the book’s authors position it as a valuable historical study, not like a precedent for an example of a political scandal. Marking the most impressive passages from the chapter, it would be reasonable to note that the authors of the book preferred to adhere to the style which could be called a dialogue with the audience – it was evident from the very beginning that Davidson and Lythe suggest that the reader could think together with them, which is quite unusual for this kind of books and thus provides a peculiar effect. With the help of this literary device, both authors make it clear that the opinion of the reader is of great value for them and encourage their audience to further reading. “Yes, there’s a recording system in the White House,” Alexander Butterfield claimed (Davidson 2009, 421), and the Watergate scandal erupted. It was so simple, wasn’t it? However, some historians doubt that the case was worth the racket that mass media and the politicians interested in Nixon’s retirement raised. Considering all the evidence which lawyers managed to collect, one can say with certainty that there is much more than meets the eye to this case. Although Nixon was branded as the man not worthy of being truest and the person who could not take the post of the President, Lythe and Davidson c
