review 1: An interesting look at what it takes to be a member of the Presidential Protective Division. Obviously, these guys are the best in the world at what they do and deserve a lot of respect. There are only a very small number of men and women who can jump all of the hurdles required to get to the PPD and become a successful agent. The stories told in this book really shine a light on the uniqueness of their role in the United States government.
review 2: Thanks to Goodreads, I received Within Arm's Length: A Secret Service Agent's Definitive Inside Account of Protecting the President by Dam Emmett. It is an irony that I received this book based on algorithms that I would guess include my address. As it would be, I am very liberal, residing in what has been calle... mored the reddest state in the nation. The author does not mince words as they pertain to his feelings about liberals and democrats...and despite that, this book was, in fact, a fascinating and very enjoyable read. It needs some editing but is still quite good. I have the utmost respect and admiration for those who serve our country in whatever capacity, and Mr. Emmett reached the pinnacle of that service, in my opinion. It was amazing to learn the physical and mental tests and performance that come into play everyday for the men and women who risk their lives in the service of our country...all politics aside. less
