In the early 1970s, Katharine Graham was one of the most powerful women on earth. The publisher of the Washington Post, she published the Pentagon Papers, which shed light on the darkest corners of the war in Vietnam, and she oversaw the investigation into Watergate that would bring down President Richard Nixon. Her story is one of the greatest triumphs in the history of American journalism, but she may have had a secret ally: the Central Intelligence Agency. In this stunning biography, veteran reporter Deborah Davis unearths the truth about the Washington Post.
On first publication, Katharine the Great was so controversial that its publishers pulled the book under pressure from Graham and her editor in chief Benjamin Bradlee, who demanded that it be destroyed rather than letting it see the light of day. Nothing in the book was ever disproven, and it stands today as a testament to dogged reporting and the unmatched power of the CIA.
