A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

'A thrilling flashback to a time of extraordinarily tenacious journalism'
Independent on Sunday
In America's capital city, where little stays secret for long, the identity of Deep Throat - the mysterious source who helped Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein break open the Watergate scandal in 1972 - remained hidden for thirty-three years. Now, Woodward tells the story of his long, complex relationship with Mark Felt, the enigmatic former No. 2 man in the Federal Bureau of Investigation who helped end the presidency of Richard Nixon.

The Secret Man chronicles in intimate detail the intense 33-year journey, which finally came to an end in June 2005 and provides a gripping final chapter to one of the most exciting periods in journalistic and political history.
'[A] highly personalised glimpse into the complicated dance between a journalist and his source'
The Times
'Mr Woodward's new account of his relationship with Mark Felt makes compelling reading' The Economist
'The Secret Man is an astonishingly good psychological thriller'
Sunday Times

Revue de presse

"Provocative. . . . Reaffirms the vital role that confidential sources play in keeping the public informed." -- The New York Times

"The Secret Man is one of the best [of the Watergate books] at illuminating the backstage battle to bring President Nixon's team to account. . . . Eye-opening." -- The Boston Globe

"The best short discussion of the distinction -- between the reporter as private eye and the reporter as stenographer -- that has ever been published. The chapter on the protection of sources is a passage that one hopes will be taught in schools." -- The New York Times Book Review

"Long live the use of confidential news sources. . . . An inside look at the give-and-take involved in the often-dicey relationships between journalists and their sources." -- Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

"A filling-in of many of the final blanks left in the most explosive political/journalism story ever." -- Lincoln Journal Star

"A provocative, even stirring contribution." -- Baltimore Sun
