Please read the provided excerpts from Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States and Larry Schweikart and Michael Allen's A Patriot's History of the United States. Each excerpt is a treatment of the Watergate scandal.
Write an essay (at least 2 double-spaced pages typed) about the differences in how each book treats the Watergate affair. You should discuss at least three differences (either specific content or tone), and you should also take some time to reflect on how two books can have such different views of the same historical event. Isn't history supposed to be the simple writing-down of "what really happened?"
