In Hill's own words... he was there!
If you were around when JFK was president (or any of these presidents) then you will enjoy this book. If you are a student of history with some politics thrown in, then you will enjoy this book. If you are interested in learning what these brave men and women do in the Secret Service in order to protect our leaders, then you will enjoy this book. Clint Hill was there among the bravest... reading his story allows you to be there with him.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
