Inside the Secret Service 2 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 Agency 20 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 ...

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 ...

SPECIAL AGENT 1 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 Story 1 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 ...

Secret Service in Action: 2 1 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 ...

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 ...
