Features: After the Watergate scandal in the United States on July 16, 1972, a secret informant known as "Deep Throat" provided confidential intelligence to journalist Bob Woodward, helping him persistently track and report the story, ultimately leading to President Nixon's forced resignation. Who was this mysterious "Deep Throat"? After being hidden for 33 years, on May 31 of this year, "Deep Throat"—the 91-year-old former FBI Deputy Director Mark Felt—publicly admitted to the media: "I am Deep Throat." This book begins with Woodward's accidental meeting with Felt in 1971 and details their secret meetings in an underground parking garage after the Watergate scandal.
