Synopsis

The author describes and analyzes the elements that constitute "integrity" in public office. Focusing on the public officials themselves, the book explores the responsibilities, pressures and dilemmas raced every day by those who hold public office. Drawing on case studies, memoirs, interviews and fiction (for example, John Le Carre), J. Patrick Dobel addresses such issues as when to resign and when to stay in office. he examines the temptations of power, the relation between private and public life, and the role of honour and prudence in personal decisions. He applies not only moral theory but also insights from history, organizational theory and psychology.
