In the president's secret service : behind the scenes with agents in the line of fire and the presidents they protect / Ronald Kessler.

Kessler, Ronald, 1943- (Author).

Summary:

Because Secret Service agents are sworn to secrecy, the American public rarely knows what presidents, vice presidents, presidential candidates, and Cabinet officers and their families are really like. If they did, says a former Secret Service agent, "They would scream."
