| Journalist and writer, born in Washington, District of Columbia, USA. With Bob Woodward (1943– ) he was responsible for unmasking the Watergate cover-up, which resulted in a constitutional crisis and the resignation of President Richard Nixon. For their coverage of the acknowledged investigative story of the 20th-c, Bernstein and Woodward won for the Washington Post the 1973 Pulitzer Prize for public service. Together they wrote the best seller, All the President's Men (1974), which became a successful film (1976), and The Final Days (1976), an almost hour-by-hour account of President Nixon's last months in office. |
