"Provocative. . . . Reaffirms the vital role that confidential sources play in keeping the public informed." -- The New York Times
"The Secret Man is one of the best [of the Watergate books] at illuminating the backstage battle to bring President Nixon's team to account. . . . Eye-opening." -- The Boston Globe
"The best short discussion of the distinction -- between the reporter as private eye and the reporter as stenographer -- that has ever been published. The chapter on the protection of sources is a passage that one hopes will be taught in schools." -- The New York Times Book Review
"Long live the use of confidential news sources. . . . An inside look at the give-and-take involved in the often-dicey relationships between journalists and their sources." -- Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
"A filling-in of many of the final blanks left in the most explosive political/journalism story ever." -- Lincoln Journal Star
"A provocative, even stirring contribution." -- Baltimore Sun
