 | by Bob Woodward |
There is not a lot of new information here. Some personal stories about how Bob Woodward got started and how Mark Felt helped that process. There is some insight into Felt: the internal conflict about what he was doing, the angst about how his colleagues would view him, and how the public would perceive his actions.
Felt as an old man is a sympathetic figure, as a younger man and agent he is still a bit of an enigma even after reading this book.
As with all of Woodward's books, this one is well written and readable. It is also fairly short and fast. A must for anyone interested in Watergate.

Reading "All The Presidents Men",the articles in the Washington Post following Mark Felt's disclosure, and this book ("The Secret Man"), followed by watching the movie ("All The Presidents Men"), are prerequisites to touring the 3 key sites in DC.....Woodward's apartment building (from the rear), the garage under 1401 Wilson Blvd (level D), and the Watergate itself (the office bldg across from the old Howard Johnson's, on Virginia St.). How can anyone not be interested in these historical events?.....
