excellent! submitted by smgop on July 28, 2017, 8:09pm This book was a fascinating, in-depth look at a career of a Secret Serviceman who served five presidents in the 20th century. Clint Hill is perhaps best known for being the agent closest to the Kennedys when JFK was shot, throwing himself into the car to attempt to shield JFK and Mrs. Kennedy. Hill's firsthand account of history is captivating. Loved this book.
