Title: The Kennedy Detail: JFK’s Secret Service Agents Break Their Silence

Authors: Gerald Blaine and others

Recommended For: Adults

Review by: Dr. Nathaniel Peirce

I read this over the holiday and could not put it down! It is written by a senior secret service agent about the team of agents and their service to President Kennedy and his family. It is a very moving story and helps you realize how carefully the team of agents prepare for every move that the president makes.
