Specificatii
Through the shadowy persona of Deep Throat, FBI official Mark Felt
became as famous as the Watergate scandal his leaks helped uncover.
Best known through Hal Holbrook's portrayal in the film version of
Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein's All the President's Men, Felt was
regarded for decades as a conscientious but highly secretive
whistleblower who shunned the limelight. Yet even after he finally
revealed his identity in 2005, questions about his true motivations
persisted. Max Holland has found the missing piece of that Deep
Throat puzzle--one that's been hidden in plain sight all along. He
reveals for the first time in detail what truly motivated the FBI's
number-two executive to become the most fabled secret source in
American history. In the process, he directly challenges Felt's own
explanations while also demolishing the legend fostered by Woodward
and Bernstein's bestselling account. Holland critiques all the
theories of Felt's motivation that have circulated over the years,
including notions that Felt had been genuinely upset by White House
law-breaking or had tried to defend and insulate the FBI from the
machinations of President Nixon and his Watergate henchmen. And,
while acknowledging that Woodward finally disowned the principled
whistleblower image of Felt in The Secret Man, Holland shows why
that famed journalist's latest explanation still falls short of the
truth. Holland showcases the many twists and turns to Felt's story
that are not widely known, revealing not a selfless official acting
out of altruistic patriotism, but rather a career bureaucrat with
his own very private agenda. Drawing on new interviews and oral
histories, old and just-released FBI Watergate files, papers of the
Watergate Special Prosecution Force, presidential tape recordings,
and Woodward and Bernstein's Watergate-related papers, he sheds
important new light on both Felt's motivations and the complex and
often problematic relationship between the press and government
officials. Fast-paced and scrupulously fact-checked, Leak resolves
the mystery residing at the heart of Mark Felt's actions. By doing
so, it radically revises our understanding of America's most famous
presidential scandal.
