Acerca de esta escucha
From the author of the number-one New York Times best seller Crisis of Character comes an explosive new exposé of the Secret Service.
The United States Secret Service is tasked with protecting our presidents, their families, and the complex in which they live and work. Given this important mission, world stability rests upon the shoulders of its agents.
In his new book, former Secret Service officer Gary Byrne takes listeners behind the scenes to understand the agency's history and today's security failings that he believes put Americans at risk.
The American public knows the stories of Secret Service heroism, but they don't know about the hidden legacy of problems that have plagued the agency ever since its creation.
Gary Byrne says that decades of catastrophic public failures, near misses, and bureaucratic and cultural rot threaten to erode this critical organization from the inside out.
Today, as it works to protect President Trump, the Secret Service stands at a crossroads, and the time needed to choose the right course is running out. Agents and officers are leaving the Secret Service in droves, or they're being overworked to the point where they lose focus on the job. Management makes decisions based on politics, not the welfare of their employees.
Byrne believes that this means danger for the men and women of the Secret Service, danger for the president they protect, and danger for the nation. In this book, he shares what he has witnessed and learned about the Secret Service with the hope that the problems of this most important agency can be fixed before it's too late.

Within Arm's Length is a revealing and compelling inside look at the Secret Service and the elite Presidential Protective Division (PPD).

He swore to take a bullet for the President and left it all behind to take a bullet for the American people. Why would a successful, twelve-year Secret Service agent resign his position in the prime of his career to run for political office against all the odds? New York Times bestseller, Life Inside the Bubble is an intimate look at life inside the presidential "bubble," a haze of staffers, consultants, cronies, acolytes, bureaucrats and lobbyists that creates the "alternate reality" in which monumental policy decisions are made.

For four years, from the election of John Fitzgerald Kennedy until after the election of Lyndon Johnson, Clint Hill was the Secret Service agent assigned to guard the glamorous and private Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. During those four years, he went from being a reluctant guardian to a fiercely loyal watchdog and friend. Looking back, Clint Hill tells his story for the first time, offering a tender and tragic portrayal of how a Secret Service agent who started life in an orphanage became the most trusted man in the life of the First Lady who captivated first the nation and then the world.

In September 1914, just a month into World War I, the Russian army laid siege to the fortress city of Przemysl, the Hapsburg Empire's most important bulwark against invasion. For six months, against storm and starvation, the ragtag garrison bitterly resisted, denying the Russians a quick victory. Only in March 1915 did the city fall, bringing occupation, persecution, and brutal ethnic cleansing. In The Fortress, historian Alexander Watson tells the story of the battle for Przemysl, showing how it marked the dawn of total war in Europe.

The plane was forced to divert to Entebbe in Uganda - ruled by the murderous despot Idi Amin, who had no interest in intervening. Days later, Israeli commandos disguised as Ugandan soldiers assaulted the airport terminal, killed all the terrorists, and rescued all the hostages but three who were killed in the crossfire. The assault force suffered just one fatality.

But Bibi, as he is known by friend and foe alike, is no stranger to controversy. For many in Israel and elsewhere, he is an embarrassment, a threat to democracy, even a precursor to Donald Trump. He nevertheless continues to dominate Israeli public life - and he may yet survive his current crises, the most challenging of his career.

Historia
Step right up! The Amusement Park is a rich, anecdotal history that begins nine centuries ago with the "pleasure gardens" of Europe and England and ends with the most elaborate modern parks in the world. It's a history told largely through the stories of the colorful, sometimes hedonistic characters who built them. And, of course, this is a full-throttle celebration of the rides, those marvels of engineering and heart-stopping thrills from an author, Stephen Silverman, whose lifelong passion for his subject shines through.

Historia
Homicide detective J. Warner Wallace applies ten common rules of evidence to make the case for Christianity in this completely updated and expanded edition of the apologetic classic. A devout atheist, J. Warner Wallace couldn’t imagine believing in the Christian faith—until he applied the same step-by-step investigative process he utilized in his work as a homicide detective to the case for Christianity. In light of the ten common rules of evidence that he’d used to solve crimes throughout his career, Wallace realized he could no longer deny the truth of Jesus Christ.

Historia
In the second half of the tenth century, Byzantium embarked on a series of spectacular conquests. By the early eleventh century, the empire was the most powerful state in the Mediterranean. Yet this imperial project came to a crashing collapse fifty years later, when political disunity, fiscal mismanagement, and defeat at the hands of the Seljuks and the Normans brought an end to Byzantine hegemony. By 1081, Byzantium's very existence was threatened.

Why would a successful, twelve-year Secret Service agent resign his position in the prime of his career to run for political office against all the odds? New York Times bestseller, Life Inside the Bubble is an intimate look at life inside the presidential "bubble," a haze of staffers, consultants, cronies, acolytes, bureaucrats and lobbyists that creates the "alternate reality" in which monumental policy decisions are made.

Based on his experience, he should be an excellent primary source for such things But, the author fails to impart an important fact: although skilled and trained to execute his duties at the highest level, his position in the Service was not at the policy or decision-making level. ( Based on the events detailed in the Book, he was fortunate not to be.) Since the author was not part of that group, the writing contains too much speculation, including how the decision(s) leading to the point(s) he is most concerned with came to be.
The source for much of the information regarding the Service's (mis)management is other's investigations and experiences, particularly Congressional oversight. These investigations and experiences draw a troubling picture, much like similar investigations into other Government Bureaus or Agencies.
Unlike a vast amount of information to be shared in the books by Tim Weiner, there is a dearth of information here. (However, it is fair to consider quality, not quantity, is what matters.) And, each of these Agencies of Government can be shown to have failed, in their original purpose.
In the main, Government is made of people. People often succeed. But we are subject to mistakes and failure. It is an important point, highlighted several times in this Book, that failures borne from mistakes are often avoidable. And success borne out of accident may not be the best method. The keen insights into the Kennedy assassination, if correct, demonstrate this very well.
It may be hard to write a book about what you feel is wrong without trying to suggest how to right it. But, the author should have remembered something he pointed out often as a best practice while speculating: you don't want to succeed or fail, by accident or hope.
The author pins the relief of this important but troubled government agency on the same hope(s) he reminds us is not the best practice. He hopes someone new will be appointed to head the agency that will swoop in to save it. And, the new Administration will curb the corruption that has become endemic.
The events that followed his "wishful thinking," weakened his position and the Book, overall. For example, In a Service where many dedicated people stay more than 20 yrs, the recently appointed head of the agency stayed only 2 years, moved to run the parent department, and left little if any meaningful changes to the Service. The hope that the current Administration will take steps to curb a corruption aided and abetted, by a bloated and unchecked budget seems to have fallen flat, too, as current questions concerning exorbitant hotel charges made to that same bloated budget, by a company where the Administration may have an interest, have come to light.
