Not the best memoir I’ve read, but Egil Krogh made some poignant points. I read this book because I wanted to know more about the White House Plumbers before I watched the HBO show. I should’ve read his other book for the finer details; I probably will read it at some point. I think that this book should be required reading for all politicians.
The reason I’m giving it three stars has more to do with the writing and flow over the content. I think it could have used some more editing or breaking up of the chapters. A few parts I found hard to follow, but I’m not super knowledgeable about the Vietnam war. I also think he could’ve tied integrity into each chapter but I also see why the conclusion or afterword on integrity was included at the end instead of intermingled throughout the book.
