You might enjoy (or, may have already enjoyed) Lamar Waldron's 2012 "Watergate: The Hidden History (Nixon, the Mafia, and the CIA). It was published by Counterpoint, of Berkeley, CA.
The book makes use of hundreds of government documents that have only been released in recent years.
In a very real sense, it can be considered the follow-up to the two books he wrote with Thom Hartman -- "Ultimate Sacrifice" and "Legacy of Secrecy."
Per "Deep Throat" -- yesterday, on the ride home from the book store, one of the issues that my son and I discussed was why -- without any question -- Woodward's claim that Mark Felt was the individual depicted in Woodward's story is fiction. No question that Felt played a role; he had supervised Woodward per their ONI tasks at the Nixon White House in the late 1960s, in fact. However, as a rule, I wouldn't trust Woodward to give an honest weather forecast.
