Descripci�n

Inscribed Copy of Egil "Bud" Krogh's memoir of President Richard Nixon's covert "Plumbers" operation, the crew that botched a black bag job at the Watergate Hotel, touching off a series of investigations and revelations that would lead to Nixon's resignation. Krogh was a 30ish, straight-arrow White House lawyer without an espionage background when tasked with assembling "Plumbers" to work outside regular channels and plug leaks of information such as the Pentagon Papers. A key early escapade was a burglary at the office of the psychiatrist of Pentagon Papers whistle-blower Daniel Ellsberg. Krough served prison time for his activities related to the Plumbers. Interestingly, Krough emerged with a complex perspective on the episode that merited a Forward to this book from none other than Daniel Ellsberg. It also caught the attention of filmmakers. This book is the source book for the HBO series, "White House Plumbers." Inscribed by Egil "Bud" Krogh to previous owners on the front endpaper. 220 pages. Second Printing of the First Edition. No sign of previous use.

Sinopsis

SOON TO BE AN HBO SERIES, "THE WHITE HOUSE PLUMBERS," STARRING WOODY HARRELSON AND JUSTIN THEROUX

In 1971, Egil "Bud" Krogh was summoned to a closed-door meeting by John Ehrlichman, his mentor and key confidant of President Richard Nixon, in a secluded office in the Western White House. Krogh thought he was walking into a meeting to discuss the drug control program launched on his most recent trip to South Vietnam. Instead, he was handed a file and the responsibility for the SIU, Special Investigations Unit, later to become notorious as "The Plumbers." The unit was to investigate the leaks of top-secret government documents, particularly the Pentagon Papers, to the press. The president considered this task critical to national security. Nixon said he wanted the unit headed up by a "real son of a bitch." He got the studious, zealous, and loyal-to-a-fault Bud Krogh instead.

In that instant, Krogh was handed the job that would lead to one of the most famous conspiracies in presidential history and the demise of the Nixon administration. Integrity is Krogh's memoir of his experiences-of what really went on behind closed doors, of how a good man can lose his moral compass, of how exercising power without integrity can destroy a life. It also tells the moving story of how he turned his life back around. For anyone interested in the ethical challenges of leadership, or of professional life, Integrity is thought-provoking and inspiring reading.
