The spirit of Watergate can be perceived and captured through the life and the time of one single man -- most of whose life was spent enveloped in the anonymity of undercover intelligence work, but who suddenly burst upon the national scene as the personification of all the painful things symbolized by Watergate. He is E. Howard Hunt, Jr., sentenced to a provisional 35-year prison term, who careless slip on June 17, 1972 led to the ultimate exposure of most of the Watergate scandals...What Hunt did before, during, and after the Watergate affair tells us a great deal about the very special Cold War environment from which he came.
