John O'Connor has done it again. The sleuthing attorney who uncovered the identity of the whistleblower of Watergate, Deep Throat--when every reporter, historian, and would-be detective failed--now sets his sights on the why of Watergate. More than forty-five years after the infamous break-in, pundits and politicians still cannot fathom the purpose of the botched political spy escapade. Building his case as the reader would expect from a brilliant courtroom lawyer, O'Connor takes us through the corridors of Washington power--including the Washington Post, the CIA, the FBI, and the White House--to discover the most probable answer--along with the episode's real instigators. -- Dan Lungren, former US representative and attorney general for California John O'Connor's Postgate is a welcome new piece of the Watergate puzzle. Part memoir as Deep Throat's attorney, part deep dive into overlooked aspects of the nation's greatest political scandal, Postgate is an investigation of the investigators--how the Washington Post crafted its coverage of Watergate, what was included, and what was left out. -- Luke A. Nichter, author of The Nixon Tapes: 1973 In Postgate, Mark Felt's lawyer, John O'Connor, continues his masterful duel with Bob Woodward and the Washington Post. Having previously forced Woodward to name Felt as Deep Throat, O' Connor now uncovers in Postgate layer upon layer of deceit concealing the true story of Watergate and its journalism. It is a must-read for anyone interested in our country's most significant scandal. -- Len Colodny, New York Times bestselling author
