Title: A must-read for the 70s-era political junkie
Product review: It takes the generous soul of a jazz musician to plough through the detritus of Watergate in such humane fashion. Leonard Garment (once a jazzman, an identity he shares with Alan Greenspan) was in the presidential orbit and well-acquainted with most of the principals, and his search for Deep Throat is truly a labor of love. I was particularly pleased to see him recognize the long-neglected contribution of James Hougan ("Secret Agenda") to unraveling the Watergate puzzle. Garment's careful evaluation of the principal suspects and his conclusion as to the identity of Deep Throat make for a refreshing journey down memory lane. Along the way he offers a balanced, nuanced portrait of Richard Nixon - arguably the definitive American politician of the Cold War era.
