Title: Too good to be forgotten
First published: 1998
Description: Few people saw as much or knew as many of the primary figures of the '60s and '70s as David Obst. A journalist in the maelstrom of the anti-war movement, he helped break Seymour Hersh's Pulitzer Prize-winning My Lai Massacre story. A behind-the-scenes operator, he baby-sat the Pentagon Papers for Daniel Ellsberg. And as the hottest literary agent of the period, Obst quickly sewed up deals with the Watergate intelligentsia, including Bob Woodward, Carl Bernstein and John Dean.

Given his insider status, Obst offers some intriguing speculation on the identity of Deep Throat. A definitive look at the baby boomers' coming of age, Too Good To Be Forgotten puts you right in the thick of some of the defining moments of the time the kids tried to take the country away from the grown-ups.
