In a secluded office in President Nixon's White House in 1971, Egil "Bud" Krogh was summoned to a closed-door meeting by his mentor-and a key confidant of the president-John Ehrlichman. Expecting to discuss the most recent drug control program launched in Vietnam, Krogh was shocked when Ehrlichman handed him a file and the responsibility for the Special Investigations Unit, or SIU, later to be notoriously known as "The Plumbers." The Plumbers' work, according to Nixon, was critical to national security: they were to investigate the leaks of top-secret government documents, including the Pentagon Papers, to the press. Driven by blind loyalty, diligence, and dedication, Krogh, along with his co-director David Young, set out to handle the job, eventually hiring G. Gordon Liddy and E. Howard Hunt to break in to the office of Dr. Fielding, a psychiatrist treating Daniel Ellsberg, the man they suspected was doing the leaking. Krogh had no idea that his decisions would soon lead to one of the most famous conspiracies in presidential history and the demise of the Nixon administration. The White House Plumbers is Krogh's account of what really happened behind the closed doors of the Nixon White House, and how a good man can make bad decisions, as well as the necessity of maintaining your integrity. Including the story of how Krogh served time and later rebuilt his life, The White House Plumbers is gripping, thoughtful, and a cautionary tale of the ends justifying the means"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1969-1974. 600 10 $a Krogh, Egil, $d 1939-2020. 610 10 $a United States. $b Special Investigations Unit $b Special Investigations Unit $x History. 650 0 $a Presidents $z United States $x Staff $v Biography. 600 10 $a Nixon, Richard M. $q (Richard Milhous), $d 1913-1994. 630 00 $a Pentagon Papers. 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / General. $2 bisacsh 600 17 $a Krogh, Egil, $d 1939-2020. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00345269 600 17 $a Nixon, Richard M. $q (Richard Milhous), $d 1913-1994. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00031384 630 07 $a Pentagon Papers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01357038 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Presidents $x Staff. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01075812 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1969-1974 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Krogh, Matthew D., $e author. 941 $a 11 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240716035816.0 952 $l FGPD194 $d 20240515011506.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305021934.0 952 $l SKPC094 $d 20240210010803.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20231206014430.0 952 $l OPAX566 $d 20231108010345.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010032020.0 952 $l TXPC862 $d 20230830011027.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20230420010337.0 952 $l GMPD771 $d 20230210025149.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230203010252.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BB06323E963411ED9CA5374839ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IW3Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
