This was not what I thought it would be, as I thought it would be secrets about secret service "missions" and instead was a lot about their jobs, and especially the people that he protected. It was interesting when he described how they got ready for a motorcade, and frustrating to hear that some presidents just didn't listen to secret service (like Kennedy :-(

This was terribly entertaining. :)

This is a book about the an ex-secret service agent. I was interested in it because I used to live where Air Force One landed several times a year at our airport and we saw it in person. So the life of a secret service agent sounded like a nice read. He watched over several presidents and was present when many digitaries were in his sight. He got burned though and became of all things a dj. His book is informative and funny.

I read this book a long time ago and it was pretty fascinating. This is a true story about a secret service guy who moonlit as a DJ in New York City at Raves. He would die his hair green, then wear a wig during the day as he protected ex-Pres Nixon.
