Secret Service chief,
Urbanus Edmund Baughman
Harper, 1962
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 ...

Protecting the President: The Inside Story of a Secret Service Agent
Dennis V. N. McCarthy, Philip W. Smith
William Morrow & Co, 1985
A really good book by the OTHER McCarthy on 3/30/81
+ A great book
As the leading civilian authority on the U.S. Secret Service, I was most impressed with this fine book by Dennis (no relation to Tim) McCarthy (with some help from his co-author, Philip W. Smith). It reads very well, it's funny, informative, and even has a nice photo section, to boot. The Secret ...

Definitive Proof: The Secret Service Murder of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy
Dan Robertson
Lulu.com, 2006
This book truly solves who killed JFK
+ The Definitive book on the Assassination of JFK
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 ...

The U.S. Secret Service (Your Government: How It Works)
Ann Gaines
Chelsea House Publications, 2001
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, ...

Secret Service (4pc)
Max Wright, Anne Schedeen
A&E Home Video, 1997
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 ...

Looking back and seeing the future: The United States Secret Service, 1865-1990
Marcia Roberts
Association of Former Agents of the United States Secret Service, 1991
GET THIS IF YOU CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+ Vince Palamara, Secret Service expert, deceived us
As the leading civilian authority on the U.S. Secret Service, I heartily recommend this internal SECRET SERVICE ONLY book (meant for former agents, primarily). I was fortunate to have a very old, former agent graciously provide a complete photocopy of this book. There are priceless photographs and ...

Confessions of an Ex-Secret Service Agent
George Rush
Dutton Adult, 1988
Marty Venker, the rebel who reluctantly did his duty
+ A Private Life in the Secret Service
+ Funny!
As the leading civilian authority on the U.S. Secret Service, 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). Venker's book, actually 'written' by George Rush, is a funny ...
