Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. In 2007, Melanie Lentz was one of the youngest female Secret Service agents ever hired. At twenty-two, she had no prior military or law enforcement experience, much less life experience. But she sold herself on a platform of trainability. She could be taught the skills needed to be a great agent, and her work ethic and stubbornness got her through the grueling months of training. Agent Innocent: How the Secret Service Changed My Life chronicles Melanie's journey into womanhood by paralleling her personal and professional life. While her experiences and life lessons were acquired via unconventional and unique ways, her story proves remarkably relatable. Behind the sunglasses, earpiece, badge, and ponytail was a woman struggling to balance a demanding occupation and a neglected personal life. For years she hid behind her respected reputation at work, convincing those around her that she was okay when she wasn't. After being assigned to Former First Lady Nancy Reagan's protection detail in Los Angeles, Melanie's life began to unravel, ultimately leading to her resignation in July 2016 shortly after Mrs. Reagan's death. With vulnerability and raw emotion, Melanie tells her story of divorce, depression, dysfunction, self-esteem, humility, self-awareness, and more. Melanie failed to protect herself, but she was exposed to the concept of protection every day at work. Little did she know the Secret Service was covertly giving her the life experience she needed to help her start over and become a better woman.…

Hardback. Condizione: Fair. The Fight shines a much needed light on the troubling games DC politicians and insiders play with the American people. -Sean HannityThe Fight is a lesson plan for fighting back against the Washington DC political machine. - Mark LevinIn The Fight, Dan Bongino picks up the story where his New York Times bestselling book Life Inside the Bubble ends to tackle current political and security issues and offer new solutions. From Hilary's emails to the security failings at the White House (including the drone crash and the fence jumper); from Charlie Hebdo to Bowe Bergdahl--the author examines how our current administration has allowed our security efforts to lapse both at home and abroad. He also offers solutions to the growing terrorist threat and how we can protect American citizens while also deconstructing what's wrong with our political process and what his experience running for office has taught him. As a former member of the elite Presidential Protection Division who served three Presidents, Bongino is uniquely qualified to provide a view from behind the curtain to warn readers about the political system that is failing them, and the security future that won't protect them. The majority of Americans only come into contact with security when they fly or enter their workplace. They are rarely able to become acquainted with the politicians they know from robo-calls and TV ads. Bongino has experienced the inner-workings of the national security apparatus and the failed political theater that we all feel but rarely understand. Using a mix of current events, an insider's analysis, and tales from his time protecting the president, he shows where clear and foreseeable leadership failures from our current administration led to grave consequences. From a broken political process to a president who consistently misreads the American people, he shows us where America has gone wrong and how we can fight back.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Secret Service agents, acting as human surveillance cameras, observe everything that goes on behind the scenes in the president's inner circle. Ronald Kessler reveals what they have seen, providing startling, previously untold stories about the presidents, from John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson to George W. Bush and Barack Obama, as well as about their families, Cabinet officers, and White House aides. Kessler portrays the dangers that agents face and how they carry out their missions-from how they are trained to how they spot and assess potential threats. With fly-on-the-wall perspective, he captures the drama and tension that characterize agents' lives. In this headline-grabbing book, Kessler discloses assassination attempts that have never before been revealed. He shares inside accounts of past assaults that have put the Secret Service to the test, including a heroic gun battle that took down the would-be assassins of Harry S. Truman, the devastating day that John F. Kennedy was killed in Dallas, and the swift actions that saved Ronald Reagan after he was shot. While Secret Service agents are brave and dedicated, Kessler exposes how Secret Service management in recent years has betrayed its mission by cutting corners, risking the assassination of President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, and their families. Given the lax standards, It's a miracle we have not had a successful assassination, a current agent says. Since an assassination jeopardizes democracy itself, few agencies are as important as the Secret Service-and few subjects are as tantalizing as the inner sanctum of the White House. Only tight-lipped Secret Service agents know the real story, and Kessler is the only journalist to have won their trust. …
