Zero Fail

The book is great, but the intro is WILD.

The author believes that american democracy is good and worthy of defending and that the US president IS democracy, therefore, the president's life is worth more than any other human life and, therefore, an institution needs to exist to protect god's choosen. This is funny because this hot take is immediately followed by several hundred pages of how said allegedly vital institution is a racist and misogynist institution and an active harm to the public through a series of drunk driving and sexual harassment incidents.

Oooo, little liberal racist bonus in the epilogue where the author says the Jan 6th protest was like something that a 3rd world country would do which OKAY.

Fellow readers the book is good, but the ideology is painfully liberal.

From the bitter loss of JFK to saving Reagan, the Secret Service is the president's shield. But the troubles that began during the Clinton years spiraled up to the agency leadership participating in Trump's coup attempt. The Rise and Fall of the Secret Service is the perfect summation of what this book chronicles.
