4.0 out of 5 stars A book by a bitter, bitter man who had nothing left but his bitterness, November 2, 2011
By 
Ehrlichman was one of Nixon's palace guards. With Haldeman and others, he worked to create an administration in which the President was shielded from much that was occurring in and out of government. He was dedicated to the president he served, and it was this dedication that caused him to cross an ethical boundary. The difference between this man and others working in the Nixon White House is that he sees this as a justification for his actions, one which removes any burden for wrong doing. By being dedicated, in his eyes, he gets to set aside his ethics and behave in any way needed by his boss. Nixon did not pardon him, and this caused a life long bitterness by Ehrlichman, one that comes through clearly in this book. Get it, and enjoy!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great observations from an insider., August 31, 2008
This review is from: Witness to Power: The Nixon Years (Hardcover)
Ehrlichman is NOT a "big picture" guy.
But his keen unbiased observations about people like J. Edgar Hoover are priceless.
Hoover was gay but deep in the closet. He had "girly pictures" on the wall of his home to "prove his manliness" to the occasional dinner guests, like Ehrlichman and the Nixon folks.
John thought the pictures were outdated and quaint and ridiculous and Hoover was a ridiculous little fag.
Observations like these are hard to find,AND THERE ARE PLENTY MORE!
I love this guy's writing.
