The U.S. Secret Service (Your Government: How It Works)1 review
Ann Gaines

Chelsea House Publications, 2001

Another surprisingly good "children's" book on the Service!

Author Ann Graham Gaines should be commended for putting together, along with Senior Consulting Editor Arthur M. Schlesigner, Jr., such a fine volume on the Secret Service. The funny thing is: this book may be intended for a young audience, but is actually quite appropriate for an older readership, ...
  
  











  



  
The Secret Service: The Hidden History of an Enigmatic Agency20 reviews
Philip H. Melanson, Peter F. Stevens

Basic Books, 2002

Not so enigmatic anymore...

This was the first book I read about the Secret Service, and I was very pleased with it. It is true that for some this may read like a dry textbook, but I was so interested in the material that it didn't matter. If you're looking for an entertaining read, like an action novel or something, you need ...
  
  











  



  
Secret Service Agents: Life Protecting the President (Extreme Careers)1 review
David Seidman

Rosen Publishing Group, 2002

Yet ANOTHER fine "kids" book about the Secret Service

As the leading civilian authority on the U.S. Secret Service, I was greatly suprised and impressed with this "kids" book about the Secret Service. Some very good information about the modern Secret Service is captured in good detail. In addition, there are several nice photographs included. Buy it!
  
  











  



  
Confessions of an Ex-Secret Service Agent3 reviews
George Rush

Dutton Adult, 1988

Marty Venker, the rebel who reluctantly did his duty

+ A Private Life in the Secret Service
+ Funny!

As the leading civilian authority on the U.S. Secret Service, I get a kick out of Marty Venker: he is alot like one of his evident heroes, Brooks Keller (the wild former agent chronicled briefly in both his book and Dennis McCarthy's). Venker's book, actually 'written' by George Rush, is a funny ...
  
  











  



  
Dar's story: Memoirs of a secret service agent1 review
Darwin Horn

the Author], 2002

A fantastic book by a great guy and great agent ;-)

As the leading civilian authority on the U.S. Secret Service, I heartily recommend Dar Horn's largely autobiographical work entitled "Dar's Story." There are some great photographs and some nice anecdotes from this brave and dedicated public servant. Dar is a great guy and a very good writer. Get ...

Secret Service

A&E Home Video, 1997

Interesting, absorbing!

+ Really nice package covering the history of the Service

I am from Tbilisi, Georgian Republic and purchase many items from the Amazon! This title was in my first purchases and I would highly recommend this set to everyone who is collecting materials like this and this is another example of openness in the United States. You will never see this kind of ...

Reclaiming History: A Review

Vincent Bugliosi has again come out with another riveting account of a true life crime. Mr. Bugliosi captures every detail leaving the reader no doubt as to the guilt of L.H. Oswald in the assassination of president Kennedy and the murder of Officer J.D. Tippet. It's a long read, but it tackles ...
  
  











  



  
What Does a Secret Service Agent Do?1 review
W. Hyde

Dodd Mead, 2000

Good but dated book on the Secret Service; ironic, too

As the leading civilian authority on the U.S. Secret Service, I feel this book, while certainly having its moments, is alittle dated and under-developed. There are some eerie moments in this work, too, especially considering it was written in 1962, the year before JFK's assassination---a picture ...

Definitive Proof: The Secret Service Murder of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy9 reviews
Dan Robertson

Lulu.com, 2006

This book truly solves who killed JFK

+ The Definitive book on the Assassination of JFK

I read Robertson's book and reviewed the DVD he wrote about. I must admit that I was very skeptical at first, but after reviewing everything, including the DVD multiple times, I saw it! Greer did kill JFK! As Robertson says in his book and as he shows in his photos, the gun is not near Kellerman's ...
  
  











  



  
Protecting the President: The Inside Story of a Secret Service Agent2 reviews
Dennis V. N. McCarthy, Philip W. Smith

William Morrow & Co, 1985

A really good book by the OTHER McCarthy on 3/30/81

+ A great book

As the leading civilian authority on the U.S. Secret Service, I was most impressed with this fine book by Dennis (no relation to Tim) McCarthy (with some help from his co-author, Philip W. Smith). It reads very well, it's funny, informative, and even has a nice photo section, to boot. The Secret ...
  
  











  



  
SPECIAL AGENT1 review
Frank J. Wilson

Holt, Rinehart & Winston, 1965

Good, but not great, book by the former Chief of the Service

As the leading civilian authority on the U.S. Secret Service, I was moderately impressed with Frank J. Wilson's book, co-written with Beth Day, entitled "Special Agent." Don't get me wrong: it's a fine book...but some of the facts are wrong, there's no index, it's alittle dated, and alittle dry in ...
  
  











  



  
Secret Service History, Duties and Equipment1 review
C.B. Colby

Putnam Pub Group (L), 1966

Decent short book for the young (and old)

As the leading civilian authority on the U.S. Secret Service, I reluctantly impose a 3-star rating on this work. It may be short, dated, and intended for a young audience, but it DOES have some good moments, especially the photographs (I especially like the one of Stu Knight and Art Godfrey at ...

Secret Service (High Interest Books: Top Secret)1 review
Mark Beyer

Children's Press (CT), 2003

Don't let the slim size fool you!

Richly illustrated, well written, and very informative, Mark Beyer does a fine job of providing a "Cliff Notes" tome about the Secret Service that is especially geared for the young. That said, this book is suprisingly good and can even find an audience with people of all ages. As the leading ...

William Raymond Manchester

BBS Publishing Corporation, 1996

THE FIRST AND THE LAST WORD

+ Behind the Scenes in November 1963
+ Still the definitive work on the Kennedy assassination and it's aftermath...
+ Classic, controversial...and suspect
+ Another Clinton-Kennedy connection
