Publisher Description
In 1974, Mark Felt was given the code name "Deep Throat" and shared intelligence on the Watergate break-in with a young reporter from the Washington Post named Bob Woodward. Thus began the greatest political scandal in the twentieth century, which would besmirch an entire administration and bring down a presidency.
A patriotic man, Felt only revealed his role in our national history as he neared the end of his life. Based on his personal recollections, Mark Felt chronicles his FBI career, from the end of the great American crime wave and World War II to the culture wars of the 1960s and his penetration of the Weather Underground; provides rich historical and personal context for his role in the Watergate scandal; and depicts how he came to feel that the FBI needed a "Lone Ranger" to protect it from White House corruption.

"Interesting how much has changed. It seems like today political figures are able to get away with so much intrigue, and no one calls them on it, either from the investigating agencies or the media. A lot has changed since Watergate, that's for sure"

" A good history lesson on "Deep Throat" (Watergate) and how a U.S. Presidency almost came totally apart. The question why Mark Felt was the informant was never really answered other than it was his "duty." "
