"The identity of Deep Throat is modern journalism's greatest unsolved mystery. It has been said that he may be the most famous anonymous person in U.S. history. But, regardless of his notoriety, American society today owes a considerable debt to the government official who decided, at great personal risk, to help Woodward and Bernstein as they pursued the hidden truths of Watergate." (VANITY FAIR) The author reveals "W. Mark Felt, 91 years old and formerly second-in-command at the F.B.I." as "the confidential Watergate source who assisted Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein--and helped bring down President Richard Nixon."
