Praise for Integrity: Good People, Bad Choices, and Life Lessons from the White House

"Integrity is Krogh's enlightening, straightforward description of how he went wrong and how he's tried to make it right. ...Krogh has obviously learned his lessons from the Nixon years, and his accessible account is impressively direct, thoughtful, and free of the usual, logic-twisting political justifications for wrongdoing. "

- Chuck Leddy of National Book Critics Circle in The Christian Science Monitor,

"I have just finished reading your excellent book. You have made me completely revise my earlier views of your role in the Watergate episode...I have been looking for the last 2 years for a new text to use in the graduate course I teach at the LBJ School of Public Affairs and at the Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M, and it will be your book....You are a wonderful story-teller yourself, and I thank you for an exciting ride through very familiar territory."

- Prof. Ken Ashworth, University of Texas; former Commissioner of Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs of the University of Texas system

"This book works hard to get it right, assembling accurate data and drawing warranted conclusions. It's a good book, too -- a compelling read, especially for those who lived through those baffling and unsettled times, and a book that steers us toward goodness."

- Rushworth M. Kidder, Institute for Global Ethics

“…when I saw your book my initial thought was, ‘Another Watergate-era crook trying to make a buck by talking about integrity after getting caught.’ Well, you completely changed my mind. I was not aware of your original involvement, and most impressed that you were among the first to come clean without being caught. In fact, I found the whole book just a fascinating and well-written account of an exciting period in history…Thank you so much for such an honest, inspiring, and interesting tale of redemption.”

- Mark Raffles

"I finished your book last night and was gratified to get a different perspective on Richard Nixon. You humanized him without minimizing or justifying his failings. I am a clinical law teacher (and litigator) at Gonzaga and have spent a good part of my career thinking about how to teach professionalism and advocacy in the context of our American adversarial system. It has always seemed to me that the lawyer’s personal integrity is the essential ingredient in making this system work. Without it, there is blind loyalty (to clients or causes), manipulation (including interpersonal dishonesty and intentional falsification of evidence), a lack of respect for the rule of law, the equation of money with success, and deep spiritual disconnection and unhappiness. Your book reinforced and broadened my understanding of these matters. Thanks."

- George A. Critchlow, Associate Professor of Law, Gonzaga University School of Law

"Your book is a fantastic read."

- Scott McLaughlin, Campbell, CA

"I hope your book is read widely. I have given it to my friends and will give it to my children at Christmas."

- Joe Mullen, Kirkland, WA

"... tells a great story of the intoxication of power and the consequences of disregarding integrity."

- Andrew R. Sutton, President, Harvest Consulting Group, LLC

"Integrity does have the power to heal wounds. Just ask Daniel Ellsberg. He wrote the forward to Krogh’s book, and is someone Bud Krogh counts as a friend."

- Maia Eisen, writing for the East King Trailhead

Praise for talks on The Integrity Zone and "Integrity:"

“Bud and his books were a big success as we had thought they would be. I hadn’t realized he would be such an entertaining speaker.…Bud is both informative and entertaining!”

- Hilary H. Barner

"I just wanted to say thank you very much for booking Egil Krogh with us. The event was a smashing success... Mr. Krogh made the audience laugh, and everyone really enjoyed the humor, insight and honesty of the event."

- Gina Baleria, Director of Literary Events, The Commonwealth Club

"It was such a treat for East West -- and especially for me -- to host your talk last Saturday. The evening was thoroughly enjoyable, enlightening and uplifting."

- Surendra James Conti, East West Bookstore, Mountain View, CA

“Thank you for your inspiring presentation in Seattle at the ALA Annual Conference….you kept my attention throughout your presentation.”

- Carol McCallum, CLM, Lewis, Overbeck & Furman, LLP
