Washington behind closed doors: The company - John Ehrlichman

The company is a novel about corruption, intrigue and savage power-struggles at the highest level of American politics, as the CIA, 'the Company', takes on the Presidency.

It is a story that could only have been written by John Ehrlichman, a man who was there at the centre of power, manipulating the levers that control it.

Ehrlichman, once Nixon's Assistant and a key man in the Watergate build up, tells a story that would be incredible if the truth had not already strained credulity to the limits. Its chilling plausibility makes it the political thriller of the decade.
