    About this audiobook

    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.

      While Mark Felt was "the man they once called Deepthroat", it isn't this that makes the book interesting. Because it was written when he didn't want to be identified it leaves alot out and then when he was ok with being identified he was very old and had forgotten the details. But thats ok because this is an interesting book on the FBI and thats what I was after. It talks about the successes of his early career as it should. But it is mostly about his time at the Headquarters of the FBI, where he became the number 3 man in the Bureau. His insights into J Edgar Hoover is the best part of the book and i feel is quite honest. He gives his good qualities as well as his not so good. He also answers questions about Hoovers files, his attitude to the Kennedys, Nixon and Martin Luther King. It's interesting to read this and see how the FBI was seen then and how it still lives off of that glory. Recommended for those interested in the FBI, law enforcement and American politics of the 1960-70's.
