|
 | National Geographic: Inside the U.S. Secret Service
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $9.38 Highly entertaining and informative, but I have some mixed emotions- this is the offical story, like the 1995 History Channel and Discovery Channel programs

|

 | The Death of a President: November 20-November 25 by William Raymond Manchester
Buy used from: $96.39 Good book, albeit one filled with errors and lone-nut bias. Manchester interviewed 20+ former agets, many of whom I spoke to, as well (I spoke to over 70). BUYER BEWARE: he did NOT interview Floyd Boring, although the former agent is quoted!!!
|
 | The Day Kennedy Was Shot: An Hour-by-Hour Account of What Really Happened on November 22, 1963 by Jim Bishop
Buy used from: $1.04 Like Manchester's book, a good but error-ridden and lone-nut biased tome. Bishop interviewed Bill Greer and James Rowley...hard to tell who else from the Secret Service.

|
| 20 years in the Secret Service;: My life with five Presidents by Rufus W Youngblood
Buy used from: $14.00 Rufus Youngblood told me that his ghost writer was Richard Hardwick, duly thanked on page 5. That said, Rufe (and co.) wrote a nice book about his time serving 5 Presidents (esp. LBJ)
|
| Confessions of an Ex-Secret Service Agent by George Rush
Buy used from: $0.13 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).
|
| Special Agent
Buy used from: $1.85 A fine book...but some of the facts are wrong, there's no index, it's alittle dated, and alittle dry in places. Still, for the Secret Service researcher, it's essential.
|
| The Secret Service Story by Michael. Dorman
Buy used from: $3.49 Dorman, a staunch government friend and anti-Garrison advocate, had Secret Service help with this book...which definitely tainted the results in the JFK areas of the book.
|
| U S Secret Service (Know Your Government) by Gregory Matusky
Buy used from: $0.01 There are some fine photographs and, with a nice introduction by Arthur Schlesinger. It's alittle dated, but it's still essential. That is agent Ron Pontius beside LBJ on page 66
|
| Secret Service in Action: 2 by Neal
Buy used from: $4.58 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 out the style and especially the FACTS.
|
| What Does a Secret Service Agent Do? by W. Hyde
Buy used from: $4.50 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. Buy this if you are curious.
|
| Secret Service History, Duties and Equipment by C.B. Colby
Buy used from: $22.89 It may be short, dated, but it DOES have some good moments: the photographs (Stu Knight & Art Godfrey at target practice on page 20)
|
| Dar's story: Memoirs of a secret service agent by Darwin Horn
Buy used from: $18.98 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 this at once!
|
| Looking back and seeing the future: The United States Secret Service, 1865-1990 by Marcia Roberts

|
| The U.S. Secret Service (Your Government: How It Works) by Ann Gaines
Buy new: $1.25 / Used from: $2.96 The funny thing is: this book may be intended for a young audience, but is actually quite appropriate for an older readership, as well! Richly illustrated with some rare photographs
|
| Reilly of the White House (American Autobiography) by Michael Reilly
