Ebook: G-Man: The Real Story of Watergate’s Deep Throat

Soon to be a major motion picture, The Silent Man, starring Liam Neeson as Mark Felt.

It was the biggest mystery of American politics and journalism for decades. A shadowy source deep within Washington had leaked crucial information to two journalists, helping them uncover the historical Watergate Scandal of 1972. But who was this elusive source and what were his motivations? Thirty-three years later, the FBI’s Mark Felt would finally identify himself as Deep Throat, the Watergate Whistle blower. This is his story.

Mark Felt learnt spy craft tracking Nazi and Soviet spies, tackled mobsters in Kansas City and took down the FBI’s most wanted list, rising through the ranks under J Edgar Hoover to one of the FBI’s top positions. Yet his place in history was secured when he decided to share vital information with Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, guiding them towards the truth of Watergate.

A life spent watching pivotal moments of history unfold, Mark Felt was the eyes and ears of the intelligence service. Drawing on his memoirs, FBI memos, secret files and conversations with his family and friends, this is a full account of a G-Man’s life and one man’s struggle for honour in Washington.

This new edition is updated with the help of Mark’s lawyer, John O’Connor, drawing on new developments and why now, the role of Deep Throat, is even more important than ever.
