Über diesen Titel

 In Washington, D.C., 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 33 years. Now, Woodward tells the story of his long, complex relationship with W. Mark Felt, the enigmatic No. 2 man in the Federal Bureau of Investigation who helped end the presidency of Richard Nixon.

The Secret Man chronicles the story in intimate detail, from Woodward's first, chance encounter with Felt in the Nixon White House, to their covert, middle-of-the-night meetings in an underground parking garage, to the aftermath of Watergate and decades beyond, until Felt finally stepped forward at age 91 to unmask himself as Deep Throat.

The Secret Man is an intense 33-year journey, providing a one-of-a-kind study of trust, deception, pressures, alliances, doubts, and a lifetime of secrets. Woodward has spent more than three decades asking himself why Mark Felt became Deep Throat. Now the world can see what happened and why, bringing to a close one of the last chapters of Watergate.

This audiobook also includes a reporter's assessment by Carl Bernstein.

This is the necessary confirmation not explicitly confirming about Deep Throats identity. Unfortunately the book only becomes really interesting towards the end when Woodward tells us more about his talking to Mark Felt again after many years.
So I have mixed feelings about this book, but to cover the whole story it was mandatory to listen to it. However, even Woodward was not able to provide the motivation of Mark Felt to act in the way he did. So this secret remains unresolved. Having the author reading it would have been better,

Telling the how and what, but not really the why.
