I enjoyed this book. It was written by one of Kennedy's secret service men, but had the stories of lots of the other agents also. Of course a lot of the book was about what we all knew of the assination, but also about the Kennedy family. A good read for anyone interested in this particular slice of history.

This is a book about the Secret Service agents that were working at the time of the Kennedy assassination. Some were protecting Kennedy, some were protecting Jackie, some protecting John-John, some protecting Caroline.
The true selflessness of these agents is inherent of the field that they are in. They must be willing to take a bullet if it is possible to protect the people that they are assigned to protect.
This was enlightening and fascinating to read. True heroes, to me.
