520    The Secret Service are an elite team of men who share a 
       single mission: to protect the president of the United 
       States. On November 22, 1963, these men failed, and a 
       country would never be the same. Now, for the first time, 
       a member of JFK's Secret Service detail reveals the inside
       story of the assassination, the weeks and days that led to
       it and its heartrending aftermath. This book is a portrait
       of dedication, courage, and loss.  Drawing on the memories
       of his fellow agents, the author captures the energetic, 
       crowd-loving young president, who banned agents from his 
       car and often plunged into raucous crowds with little 
       warning. He describes the careful planning that went into 
       JFK's Texas swing, the worries and concerns that agents, 
       working long hours with little food or rest, had during 
       the trip. And he describes the intensely private first 
       lady making her first ever political appearance with her 
       husband, just months after losing a newborn baby.  Here 
       are vivid scenes that could come only from inside the 
       Kennedy detail: JFK's last words to his tearful son when 
       he left Washington for the last time; how a sudden change 
       of weather led to the choice of the open air convertible 
       limousine that day; Mrs. Kennedy standing blood soaked 
       outside a Dallas hospital room; the sudden interruption of
       six-year-old Caroline's long anticipated sleepover with a 
       friend at home; the exhausted team of agents immediately 
       reacting to the president's death with a shift to LBJ and 
       other key governmental figures; the agents' dismay at 
       Jackie's decision to walk openly from the White House to 
       St. Matthew's Cathedral at the state funeral.  Most of all,
       this is a look into the lives of men who devoted their 
       entire beings to protecting the presidential family: the 
       stress of the secrecy they kept, the emotional bonds that 
       developed, the terrible impact on agents' psyches and 
       families, and their astonishment at the country's 
       obsession with far fetched conspiracy theories and finger 
       pointing. This book is a portrait of camaraderie and 
       heartbreak, a true story of heroism in its most complex 
       and human form; the true story of the assassination of JFK,
       told by Secret Service agents who were there and who have 
       lived with the guilt and grief from that day.
