In 1971, Egil "Bud" Krogh was summoned to a closed-door conference by John Ehrlichman, his mentor and key confidant of President Richard Nixon, in a private office in the Western White House. Krogh thought he was walking into a meeting to discuss the medicine control program launched on his latest trip to South Vietnam. Instead, he was handed a data file and the responsibility for the SIU, Special Investigations Device, later to become notorious as "The Plumbers." The machine was to investigate the leakages of top-secret federal documents, particularly the Pentagon Documents, to the press. The president considered this task critical to national security. Nixon said he wished the unit headed up by the "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 work that could lead to 1 of the very most famous conspiracies in presidential history and the demise of the Nixon administration. Integrity is Krogh's memoir of his activities - of what really continued nowadays, of what sort of good man can lose his moral compass, of how exercising electric power without integrity can damage a life. It also says the moving tale of how he switched his life again around. For anybody thinking about the ethical challenges of leadership, or of professional life, Integrity is thought-provoking and uplifting to hear.
