A landmark work of political investigation, Big Brother and the Holding Company: The World Behind Watergate presents a penetrating analysis of the systemic corruption and power structures that enabled one of America's most infamous political scandals. Edited by Steve Weissman, with an introduction by Noam Chomsky, the anthology assembles a compelling body of journalism and critical essays that uncovers the deep institutional forces — corporate, governmental, and intelligence — operating behind the Watergate break-in and its cover-up. Rather than treating Watergate as an isolated event or the work of a few rogue operatives, the collection argues that the scandal was a symptom of a broader, entrenched system of unchecked executive power and political manipulation. Chomsky's authoritative framing sets the tone for a rigorous, unflinching examination that remains as relevant to understanding American political culture today as it was at the time of its publication.
