Another surprisingly good "children's" book on the Service!
Author Ann Graham Gaines should be commended for putting together, along with Senior Consulting Editor Arthur M. Schlesigner, Jr., such a fine volume on the Secret Service. The funny thing is: this book may be intended for a young audience, but is actually quite appropriate for an older readership, ...
Carmine and Robert Motto: brothers in the Secret Service
I highly recommend this thriller of a book. Very well written as well. For True Crime ethusiasts. For the Secret Service enthusiasts, some interesting background---
Robert J. Motto, 88, a former Secret Service agent who protected five
presidents in his 21-year career, died Tuesday, March 19, ...
Really nice package covering the history of the Service
+ Interesting, absorbing!
As the leading civilian authority on the U.S. Secret Service, I must say I am very enthusiastic in my praise for this 4-video set about the Secret Service. A nice cast of characters---former agents Clint Hill, Jerry Parr, Rufus Youngblood, & Larry Beundorf among them---really makes this series come ...
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 ...
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 ...
Fantastic new (medical evidence) revelations; great overview
Michael Kurtz is to be commended for delivering a fantastic overview of the JFK assassination case at this late juncture (2006). Of most value are Kurtz's personal interviews with sundry medical personnel and even three former Secret Service agents: Roy Kellerman (deceased 1984; I spoke/ ...
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 ...
No gossip, no name dropping, just an enthralling memoir
+ An Interesting Read + Great read + Recommended for those interested in the Reagan Era and the Secret Service + Excellent for anyone looking for more info about the Secret Service
Good---and ironic---book by JFK's first Secret Service Chief
As the leading civilian authority on the United States Secret Service, I modestly recommend this book by JFK's first Secret Service Chief, Urbanus Edmund "U.E." Baughman (who was replaced as Chief in late 1961 by the SAIC of the WHD, James J. Rowley). The book is readable and pretty well put ...
I read Robertson's book and reviewed the DVD he wrote about. I must admit that I was very skeptical at first, but after reviewing everything, including the DVD multiple times, I saw it! Greer did kill JFK! As Robertson says in his book and as he shows in his photos, the gun is not near Kellerman's ...
+ Behind the Scenes in November 1963 + Still the definitive work on the Kennedy assassination and it's aftermath... + Classic, controversial...and suspect + Another Clinton-Kennedy connection
As the leading civilian authority on the U.S. Secret Service, I reluctantly impose a 3-star rating on this work. It may be short, dated, and intended for a young audience, but it DOES have some good moments, especially the photographs (I especially like the one of Stu Knight and Art Godfrey at ...
Good book, worth it for former Secret Service officer John Norris and former agent Robert Steaurt's comments
As confirmed to myself from the author, Bill Sloan, the unnamed agent at the beginning of the book who spoke with much trepidation was former Dallas office agent Robert Steaurt (I spoke to Steuart in 1992 and 1993). Although good, the best parts of the book are the aforementioned comments from ...
