Negative Positive
Title: A good historical read.
Review: After just finishing Shadow, I was struck by how Woodward threads the blight of the independant council law on the US presidency through each administration. The reactions and decisions made by Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush and Clinton were clearly affected by the investigatorial climate set in Watergate along with the special prosecutors and independant councils who put their own prestige and interests beyond the point of rationality and above the interests of the nation. Woodward puts it all together with a perspective not presented previously.
Is the review positive or negative?
