520 1 $a"When Egil "Bud" Krogh was thirty-two, a bright young man with a promising future, he found himself summoned to a closed-door meeting by John Ehrlichman, key confidante of the president. Krogh thought they were going 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."" "With the Plumbers, Krogh would investigate leaks of top-secret government documents, particularly the Pentagon Papers, to the press. The president considered this task critical to national security at a time when the United States faced serious threats from home and abroad. 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, ending in the scandal at the Watergate Hotel and the ultimate demise of the Nixon administration. Integrity is Krogh's personal memoir of abuse of power and redemption, illuminating what really went on behind those famously closed doors, and how exercising power without integrity can destroy a good man's life. Deeply evocative of the Nixon era, it is also a morality tale for all time, and a reminder that even in a time of crisis - perhaps especially in a time of crisis - a good person's primary loyalty should always be to his conscience and not to any institution or political administration."--BOOK JACKET.
