The White House Plumbers by Egil “Bud” Krogh

A candid insider account of a covert White House unit created to stop leaks and protect the administration, describing how well-intentioned secrecy and urgent political pressure gave way to illegal break-ins, surveillance and cover-ups, the ensuing investigations and prosecutions, and the author’s reflections on responsibility, remorse, and the dangers of allowing emergency tactics to override the rule of law.
