Silent Coup from 1992 is the seminal work on Watergate.
I’ve got to agree. Silent Coup is THE book on Watergate. The only error that I can find is their speculation that Haig was Deep Throat. We know now that he was not. That one point notwithstanding, Silent Coup tells the real story on Watergate. G.Gordon Liddy says so and that’s good enough for me. (Plus, it is the only story that makes ANY sense.)
I have read the book twice but I need to re-read it as it has been over a decade. John Dean pulled off the biggest double-cross in modern history.
