Being a Secret Service agent is one of the most treacherous jobs in the world and never more so than in today's highly polarized America. Facing threats from fence jumpers and manifesto writers, and from murderous terrorists and sophisticated spies, protecting the president is harder than ever. In an age of hyper-partisan politics, emotions are high and threats are everywhere. On top of that, with international tensions reaching a boiling point, it's harder than ever to determine friend from foe.

Yet the President of the United States is in very real danger if the Secret Service doesn't change course soon and evolve with the rapidly changing threat environment. Not only is the agency facing scandals from within, low morale, and an ever-present media looking to capitalize on the slightest misstep, the agency also has to contend with highly motivated bad guys who are already working on technologically advanced methodologies and are constantly striving to formulate the logistics of an attack on the White House. Eventually terrorist planners will find a way to acquire the technology, weapons, explosives, and know-how to make an attempt on the life of the President. The only question is "What are we going to do about it?"

Critic reviews

"At a time when our security and intelligence apparatuses are in a shambles, this book stands out for its clarity, simplicity, and solutions. There is no book more timely and important." (Pat Brady, MG (Ret) Medal of Honor recipient, author of Dead Men Flying)
All stars

Dan’s analysis is more timely than ever especially given what we have witnessed during the last four dystopian years. We must summon the strength and face these challenges before something terrible happens.

Bongino’s matter of fact style and the true nature of the story. His ideas for improving the SS hopefully will be instituted some time soon.

Excellent info

This is not a book of collective stories. It is a former Secret Service member's idea of how the Secret Service needs to change to improve and better its self as the world's best security service.

Very interesting book.

Dan’s firsthand knowledge provides incredible insight to the failings of the Secret Service. Even though this book was written years ago, it remains extremely relevant in light of the Secret Service’s recent failure in Butler, PA.

Incredible insight!
