Inside the Secret Service2 reviews
Inside the Secret Service

Kultur Video, 1995

Very good program about the oldest law enforcement agency

+ An entertaining look at the US Secret Service

As the leading civilian authority on the U.S. Secret Service, I must say I was somewhat impressed with this particular program. Specifically, the producers should be thanked for getting former agents' Winston Lawson and Floyd Boring on camera (at that time in 1995, this was their first appearance ...

Reilly of the White House (American Autobiography)2 reviews
Michael Reilly

Reprint Services Corp, 1947

Uncle Mike

Mike Reilly was my grandma's brother, so I found this memoir to be fascinating. As a history reader it has merit as well, offering insights into the world of the White House, the fear and diplomacy of the war era, and some views of the Yalta and Cairo conferences. The culture clash between the Arab ...
  
  











  



  
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 ...

James H. Fetzer

Open Court, 2000

As long as we are ignorant, we are not free

+ Great Quality
+ Was it a conspiracy?

James H. Fetzer exposes all the altered or destroyed evidence in the murder of JFK (the replacement of the windshield of the presidential limousine, the autopsy and the photographs of the body, the alteration of the Zapruder film), the silencing and strange death of witnesses and the still ...

Vincent Bugliosi

W. W. Norton, 2007

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 ...
  
  











  



  
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 ...
  
  











  



  
The Secret Service Story1 review
Michael. Dorman

Delacorte Press, 1967

Has its moments...

As the leading civilian authority on the U.S. Secret Service, I reluctantly give this partial propaganda a 3-star rating, largely for the GOOD, non-propaganda information contained within. Dorman, a staunch government friend and anti-Garrison advocate, had Secret Service help with this book...which ...
  
  











  



  
The Death of a President November 20-November 25 19633 reviews
William Manchester

Harper & Row,, 1967

A Valuable Resource To The True Facts Of November 22, 1963

+ Splendid, quick read.

Anyone interested in the intricate (and factual) details surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy needs to read William Manchester's "The Death Of A President". This book takes the reader on a painstaking (and often gut-wrenching) journey, encompassing six days in the autumn of ...
  
  











  



  
In Crime's Way: A Generation of Secret Service Adventures1 review
Carmine J. Motto

CRC, 1999

Carmine and Robert Motto: brothers in the Secret Service

I highly recommend this thriller of a book. Very well written as well. For True Crime ethusiasts. For the Secret Service enthusiasts, some interesting background--- Robert J. Motto, 88, a former Secret Service agent who protected five presidents in his 21-year career, died Tuesday, March 19, ...
  
  











  



  
Secret Service in Action: 21 review
Neal

Dutton Juvenile, 1980

Actually, 2-and-a-half stars...

As the leading civilian authority on the U.S. Secret Service, I was disappointed with this error-ridden book by the legend-in-his-own-mind Harry Neal. There IS some suprisingly good information on former Director H. Stuart "Stu" Knight. It has its moments, I guess...but needed a co-writer to flesh ...
  
  











  



  
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 ...

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 ...
  
  











  



  
Secret Service Agent And Careers in Federal Protection (Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Careers)2 reviews
Gerry Souter

Enslow Publishers, 2006

Great "starter" book on the Secret Service

As the leading civilian authority on the Secret Service, I highly recommend this great "starter" book on the agency. There are nice graphics and the book, albeit short in length, is well written and incisive. Get this asap!
  
  











  



  
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 ...
