Abstract:

""For a quarter of a century the identity of Deep Throat has been a durable source of wonder. People have sensed that somewhere out there a living, breathing answer to this puzzle exists and that if we find him, we will experience the very particular sort of satisfaction that we feel when we have tied up one of the loose ends of the universe. I think I have solved this particular puzzle." With this bold pronouncement, Leonard Garment sparked a renewed debate that has had America revisiting the turmoil of the Watergate era. Garment uses his "contextual knowledge" of key Nixon insiders to arrive at the only likely candidate for the cigarette-smoking, Scotch-sipping informant known as "Deep Throat." In the process, Garment provides a fascinating look at the power dynamics within the Nixon administration and Washington, and at Richard Nixon himself, a leader whose tragic end still fascinates."--BOOK JACKET.
