The Secret Service: The Hidden History of an… par Philip H. Melanson

A basic, boring history of the Secret Service. The hints at controversy are intriguing, but then they leave you to draw your own conclusion. In the end, I decided that cutting the Secret Service budget probably is the wrong place to cut.

The Secret Service : the hidden history of an… par Philip H. Melanson

The author is very critical of the Secret Service. His chapter on the Kennedy killing suggests that better driving could have gotten him out of the way after the first shot. He is equally cricitical of how the Reagan shooting played out. It would be interesting to learn his take on the shoes thrown at Bush. Why did the Secret Service permit the second shoe to be thrown. I would give this book a B.
